here welcome everyone to select the gym
my name is Boche ji bapu soo I’m a
broadcast journalist and a producer at
ultimate 106.9 FM I am the co-founder of
feed a child foundation which is into
childhood development with regards to
health I am also a managing partner at
work for charity I see one of my
colleagues here Lana paja everybody say

mmm of the World Economic Forum Global
shivers community kumar see Hobbes and a
member of the Ghana think foundation add
my first degree in political science
from the university of ghana legon and
we also did an introduction in spanish
right suit I just punish anybody could
probably be wondering what I would be
doing with spotted that’s fine but I
decided to find my feet in what I call
help
I’m passionate about them see people
lived a very good life okay so everybody
myself access to some sort of well-being
not my jelly began at Capital 97.1 FM
i’m sure most people here it will even
kumar sanu some the place and my pepto
radio i was a new start our producer i
opted at once as the new steady time and
also a presenter for health record your
health this is what yet so that’s the
beginning of the journey me sitting
right there behind the console now what
i decided to do that show was already
running on capital radio but i decided
to add value to it acta to up what I saw
to do was guys I built a connection or a
platform between my listeners and my
resource persons to the extent that they
are able to talk one-on-one with a
medical and people I brought on board
and the joy for me was that at the end
of the day they give up home and they
say Patricia I am better because of you
that for me was very satisfying now
that’s something i don’t know whether
any of you have done before has it got
sort of putting a smile on somebody’s
face no matter the cost have you ever
dreamt or from changing somebody’s like
just one point at a time and you know
that it is also very easy to press
through the answer voluntarism character
pictures if you see up there the first
sound crease and pictures are just from
this year’s national polity SD 2016 and
erica is also here would say hi to Erica
was very people tell what we did em or
national volunteer day as a member of
the gonna think foundation it’s we did a
donation we did a health screening item
the new life missions to them boom and I
star in room and duck house Oh duck /
boom cares for children who our testing
and it is also a dream that I seek to
fish you to keep them from then on they
did this whole age okay I want them to
be as far with a normal kid and if you
also look down here this am then there’s
a picture here that’s
Hamilton he is as the commercial
Children’s Hospital as a pin from parcel
idea to we did a similar thing did it is
a nation associate food items toiletries
and also we did I clean up sort off at
the hospital day now these are also
pictures from last year’s become
coomassie November I Speedman to the
life of the opportunity to speed metal
some people or Nam child health I was
very glad I was there able to do that as
it were because people don’t really know
where they want to move to in terms of
what they really want to do in life but
that’s one thing I also found out
usually what you want to do volunteerism
you had me mention names you need to
find like-minded people you need to get
people who support your boat people
already support also your post so these
are some wonderful gentleman here
doesn’t answer owns an afghani there’s a
conceive direct up for the gaana think
foundation one person who also inspires
me very much that’s I’m dr. drew bunny
he’s at the emergency center of the
component a teaching hospital and then
actually also produced him an term
ultimate 106.9 FM so filled with issues
do you know that since daylian 1993 the
oncology unit of the pathology teaching
hospital the pediatric side they’ll be
recording cases so far at least hundred
cases of childhood cancers every year
since 1983 you just do the population
and the sad thing is that childhood
cancers are not catered for by the
national health insurance scheme which
has been operating for 10 years in gonna
mount but the good thing is that
childhood cancers to a curable when you
detective Eddie when you see the signs
on your kid and you sit in this kid to
the hospital and we are able to fix the
issues your child is going to get better
but just as I mentioned it’s sad that it
is located for by the National Health
Insurance Scheme so if you are a parent
or you have guardian and you don’t have
such amounts of money to kill your child
who is suffering from cancer what do you
do then you’ve election though who
probably have to be falling or people
who would be giving you promises and at
the end of that they do not even a nice
but I said do what this is what I chose
to do
now I produce a help show also an
ultimate 106.9 FM which is hosting a
life is 29 30 p.m. every tuesday evening
maybe less tricky need to make a date
with us nah once we then came up with it
work the way with a hook my life confess
this one was last year and this one was
this year so in collaboration with the
pediatric oncology image of the
confirmatory teaching hospital this one

other things to we decided to do and we
also organize some walks here that’s

middle slide that’s worse than just not

need to let you do I I mean with what
I’ve gained from the alley and if i knew
