Renewed Commitment

In the wake of the passing of Mr. Baffour Agyemang-Badu (Kankam), the Ghanaian community in metro Lexington and Frankfort, Kentucky came together to renew our commitment to form a social community association. This call to schedule regular meetings, social activities, and planned resourceful and educational programs is in response to our need to appreciate a greater sense of unity and community to make us more organized as well as promote comradery.

The energy and unity shown by the Ghanaian community in the Lexington and Frankfort area; coupled with the support of the late Kankam's family and friends from all over the country was really impressive. To this end, a large section of the Ghanaians in this area have expressed their willingness to be part of an organized association. At the close of the funeral, a cross section of us decided to arrange an initial meeting at the Dankwas' residence on Saturday August 11, 2007 at 5pm. If you are reading this page before the schuduled meeting, please inform as many Ghanaians as possible to make this initial meeting a success.

We look forward to building a strong and united community.

Thanks for the initiative you all have taken and i hope that the sudden death of our beloved cousin Baffour will open the eyes of our Ghanaian community abroad to unite. We are all here to help each and everyone.
Keep the good work.
