Ghana Highlights: Globen School Marks 30 Years, Easter Spiritual Victories, and Child Welfare Initiatives

Ghana’s social and educational landscapes have recently been energized by a diverse range of activities, from the celebration of academic milestones to profound spiritual reflections and grassroots health outreaches. These events, occurring across different regions, highlight a collective effort to foster innovation, community well-being, and spiritual growth. Among the most prominent celebrations was the 30th anniversary of The Globen School, which transitioned from a modest preschool to a hub of excellence, alongside significant community-focused initiatives in the Volta Region and deep theological insights shared during the Easter season.

On March 28, 2026, The Globen School marked three decades of service under the theme "Honoring the past, educating the present, and inspiring the future through excellence and innovation." Founder Mrs. Gloria Obeng expressed immense pride in the school's evolution into a comprehensive basic school. A key highlight of the celebration was the emphasis on a new robotics program and lab, aimed at preparing students for international competition and global citizenship. The event featured cultural performances, alumni homecomings, and awards for academic excellence, with PTA Chairman Mr. Edwin Safo-Kwakye Jr. and Headmaster Mr. Samuel Delali Yeboah reaffirming their commitment to the school’s future growth and technological advancement.

In the Volta Region, the 2026 Giggle Fun Fest in Peki Avetile brought a focus to child welfare and health. Organized by the Nyo Impact Foundation in collaboration with Kuk_Keys Real Estate, the event blended recreation with essential healthcare services. Founder Angela Kafui Amenyo and Kuk_Keys founder Kuki Vincent Osei integrated face painting and play with a vital partnership with the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA), which helped enroll local children in the national health scheme. Parents reported positive behavioral changes in their children, underscoring the success of using the Easter spirit to drive tangible community benefits in underserved areas.

Complementing these community actions were the spiritual reflections of Lady Reverend Grace Tera-Korsinah of God’s Haven Ministries. In a message regarding Holy Saturday, she challenged the traditional view of the day as merely a time of silence. Instead, she characterized it as a period of "profound spiritual victory" where Christ confronted darkness to restore humanity's identity as heirs of God. Rev. Tera-Korsinah urged Christians to move beyond the commemorative aspects of Easter and embrace their divine authority to foster societal transformation grounded in peace, justice, and love.

Together, these events demonstrate a holistic approach to national development in Ghana. By bridging the gap between technological education in urban centers and health accessibility in rural communities, while maintaining a strong spiritual and ethical foundation, these initiatives reflect a nation striving for balanced progress. The success of the Globen School’s anniversary and the Giggle Fun Fest provides a roadmap for how private and non-profit sectors can collaborate to enhance the lives of the next generation.
