'Boafo Ye Na Kuw', a group of concerned Ghanaians passionate about helping each other has celebrated its 30-years since the formation of the group.

The group made up of largely community dwellers of Banana Inn, a suburb of Accra, has managed to drive the vision of the association towards providing financial support and mutual help to people to establish businesses, give medical care to children of its members and undertaking development projects in communities.

The association further announced at the celebrations last week that it has plans to construct a community basic school and junior high school at Banana Inn and surrounding areas.

The Chairman of the Boafo Ye Na Kuw, Mr. Daniel Yaw Manu, revealed that the group was formed by Maame Afua Boamah and Mr. Ernest Addo, on 22nd January,1984 having monitored the communal spirit of the community and that sense of togetherness where neighbours adopted the attitude of attending social functions of each other's families.

It Therefore became necessary to have a communal support group to drive the welfare of inhabitants of the town.

"We have grown in numbers after this success story and we encourage all kinds of people to also join to contribute their quota to help people who are close to each other and also seek help or support to better their lots. This is no political group and membership is opened to everyone who has the passion to help humanity," he stated.

He paid tribute to people like Maame Afua Boamah, Ernest Addo, Margaret Frimpongmaah, Margaret Baah, Agnes Darteh, Janet Adobea and Late Comfort Amanor, who according to him, were very instrumental in building up the group from the 1980s.

The group operates on under various elements of positive relations like Odo (Love), Ntiaseee (Understanding), Kuroye (Unity) and Asomdwoe (Peace).

Some past chairmen of the Boafo Ye Na Kuw include:

Chairman KM Abban; J. K. Adu; A. L. A. Koomson; Peter Kyeremeh-Yeboah and Mr. Daniel Asare.
