"The aim of the project is to help unearth and develop talents in the arts as well as instill confidence and discipline in the youth of this country," added the author, also a graduate teacher currently handling B.D.T.

According to Mr. Alornyoh who is also the Ghana national junior team coach in charge of training of Greater Accra schools in Taekwondo, a special highlight of the launch ceremony will be a demonstration by students from the schools he trains after which medals will be presented to distinguished winners from previous competitions.
