QUESTS

The tenth anniversary provided a unique opportunity

to celebrate the indispensable role played by the HuD

Group in Ghana and across the world in aligning

young people to their God-given purposes and help-

ing them live their full potentials. The anniversary

which had different programs planned for the year

was a period within which we assessed our success

stories over the years as well as our challenges. This

helped to develop appropriate remedies to address

them as we cast vision for the next decade. As part

of the anniversary celebration which was under the

Theme: “Raising the Foundation of Many Gen-

erations: Reflect, Rejoice, Rebuild” (Isaiah

58:12), we organized a press conference which

launched the celebrations on Thursday 13th June,

Accra. The 10th anniversary press soiree was delivered

by Dr. Yaw Perbi, the Global CEO of The HuD Group,

Canada @ the Ghana International Press Centre. Dr Yaw

Perbi, recounted the great but challenging beginnings of

The HuD Group. Continue @ pg 6...

Why I won’t bury Her in Jerusalem?

A man and his ever-nagging wife went on vacation in Jerusalem. While they

were there, the wife died. The Undertaker told the husband, “You can have

her buried here in Jerusalem for € 150 or we can have her shipped back to

your country– the Netherlands for € 5,000. The husband thought about it

and told the undertaker he would have her shipped back home. The Under-

taker asked him, “Why would you spend € 5000 to have her shipped home

when you could have a beautiful burial here, and it would only cost € 150?

The husband replied, “Long ago, a man died here, was buried here, and three days later,

rose from the dead. I just can’t take that chance!”

YOUTHPOWER! FESTIVAL 2013

P A G E 3 V O L U M E 1 , I S S U E 1

This is an annual programme during which Young Achievers and Leaders inspire and impact other Young People through para-digm-shifting plenaries, work-shops and exhibitions of various Youth Achievements. This spe-cial anniversary edition has been branded as a FESTIVAL with a view to create a larger forum to engage many more visionary young leaders to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the HuD Group. The Youth Power Festival 2013 was held on the 2nd November, 2013 at the Ebenezer Presby Hall, Osu, under the Theme,

‘‘Building A Trans-generational Foun-dation’’ and attracted some 100 participants. The plenary session of the event was honoured by seasoned young achievers and speakers such as Dr William Okyere-Frempong- Medical Doctor, Leadership Coach, Motivational Speaker and CEO of The HuD Group, Miss Karis Senanu- Administrative Manager of Delta Airlines, Ra-dio/TV Presenter Citi Fm & ETv and Mr. Raphaelle Antwi- Author, itinerant preacher and President of RAIN Foundations. The workshop and coloqium sessions were also honoured by Mr Bernard Kelvin Clive, Miss Esi Yankah, Mr Randy Osae-Bediako, Mr Jeremiah Buabeng, Mr Terry Mante, Mr John Armah, Ms Kate Dwamena-Nkansa, Mr. Manasseh Awuni Azuri. Participants were inspired by these speakers on topics such as God’s leading woman, Building for Trans-generational impact, Public Speaking, Starting a dream business, Personal Branding, Authorship & Publishing, and Financial Wisdom.

YouthPower! is a concept which stems from the eighth

publication of The HuD Group, authored by Dr Yaw

Perbi, our Global CEO. The book provides a panoramic

perspective to life, a purpose–driven approach with healthy

alternatives to conventional ways by which young people

live today. It demonstrates biblical reflection, visionary

perception and refreshing common sense. Our primary

objective in beginning this youth–impacting–youth pro-

gram in 2005 was to get young people to show other young

people that it is possible to achieve remarkable success; age

notwithstanding, once their energies and resources are

focused.

To this end the YouthPower! Conferences have always had the

following three-fold purpose:

• To discover talents, imbue an entrepreneurial spirit in young

people and develop visionary leadership skills.

• To motivate and inspire young people to discover their God-

given purpose and to live out their fullest potential.

• To bring together young people from all walks of life to share

inspiring personal experiences and challenge the birth of greatness

in each person.

The YouthPower! conference has since its inception in 2005, been

on a mission to contemplate, cultivate and celebrate emerging

leaders and also provide a platform to stir visions and passions,

stimulate entrepreneurship and leadership and sharpen the talents

and skills of the next generation.

Every year in our tertiary

institutions young men and

women begin a journey

they have had little prepa-

ration for--- Leadership.

For some, it’s a continua-

tion of an experience they

had in leadership in Senior

High School or as a Church youth Leader. One

year later, many come out having added little

value to their lives and that of the people they

lead - with mindsets and personal leadership as

well as interpersonal leadership largely unaffect-

ed. In the absence of parental voices of approval

and correction, with neither manuals nor men-

tors to order their steps many face leadership

challenges they are unable to handle hence the

corruption of character and minimal impact.

The lecturers and heads of tertiary institutions

struggle to choose the most promising among

these and are often disappointed with their

choices.

The student leaders themselves, often frustrat-

ed with their own incompetence, hearken to

the voice of misleading students who seek their

parochial interest, hence mayhem and instabil-

ity in our tertiary institutions on the student

leadership front.

The HuD Group, therefore organized a leader-

ship workshop for some of the tertiary institu-

tion including University of Ghana and Zenith

University College. A Selected number of lead-

ers from the Student Representative Council of

these institutions were hosted at the SRC Un-

ion Building of the University of Ghana, where

they were taken through leadership training by

leading speakers such as Dr Yaw Perbi, Dr

William-Frempong and Mr Jeremiah Buabeng.

It was an awakening moment for most of them

as they haven’t been officially taken through

any leadership training mostly before they

embark on their leadership duties and respon-

sibilities.

He recalled the impact of The HuD Group across the globe from Accra Ghana to Zambia; How The HuD Group has trained emerging leaders in Kenya, South Africa, Nigeria, Liberia, La Cote d’Ivoire, Benin, Uganda and Congo. He told the stories of how the literature of The HuD Group has transformed the mindsets and lives of former child soldiers in Sierra Leone and young victims of war from Liberia, and, how The HuD Group is still men-toring and training emerging leaders in Asia, Europe and the Americas.

Dr Yaw Perbi in his speech also reminded the audience of the his-tory and the youthful spirit of The

HuD Group. In his words, ‘‘The HuD Group has been a typical FUBU (For Us By Us) and total local story: It was founded and funded by nine young people (all in their twenties) to reach young peo-ple and has been managed and led by young people ever since. An authentic testament to the ‘YouthPower!’ concept we’ve passionately hailed and taught for a decade.’’ Dr Perbi added that, ‘‘The

current state of our nations is a

direct consequence of the state of our

current leadership while the state of

our emerging leaders is a prophecy of our

future state.’’ An observation which

further led to the partnership rela-

tionship established between The

HuD Group and John Maxwell’s

Leadership training organisation,

EQUIP, in February 2010 with

the vision to raise a global net-

work of 1,000,000 emerging lead-

ership coaches.

in the vision with a noble call

to bear responsibility of raising

leaders across the nations with

us. We also witnessed the

attendance of many other

youth groups and associations.

Some of the invitees shared

their experiences and the im-

pact The HuD Group has had

on their lives and Leadership

development. It was a time

shared to network, welcome

new partners and to renew

our individual and collective

As part of the

programs for our

10th Anniversary

celebration in the

year 2013, we

organised a break-

fast meeting aimed

at raising funds to

support the activi-

ties of the HuD

Group. The patrons, members,

partners and well wishers of The

HuD Group were invited to share

commitment to raising leaders in

our community. The HuD Group

was able to raise quite substantial

amount of money towards the ac-

quisition of a Hub for its office and

training purposes. The faithfulness

of most of the people who gave and

delivered their pledged is worth

applauding. And we would want to

acknowledge the ever encouraging

support of all. We believe the good

Lord who has called us to this vi-

sion and its support will greatly

reward you and your families.

World Health Organisation (WHO)

in 1946, defined health as ‘‘the state of

complete physical, mental and social

well-being and not merely the absence

of disease or infirmity.’’ The HuD

Group believes that the health of Doctors,

Nurses as well as other health workers

matter, and, this depends on their personal

leadership as well as their interpersonal

leadership with their patience and family.

More so, a great social re-

lationship of the health

workers with their patients

has a greater impact on

their healing process.
