This year's edition of the Ghana UK based Achievement (GUBA) Awards ceremony which would be held on November 16 at the Park Plaza River Bank Hotel in London has been launched in Accra.
Dentaa Amoateng, CEO and founder of GUBA said the award ceremony was instituted in October 2010 to showcase and celebrate excellence and achievement within the British Ghanaian Community and also the outstanding and valuable services provided by Ghanaians at home and the UK.
She said GUBA also provides an engaging platform for promoting greater cultural diversity in the UK, as well as raising the profile of Ghana.
She said GUBA has also set up a charity foundation with a focus to raise awareness on autism within black and ethnic communities both in the UK and Ghana and proceeds from the GUBA 2013 awards would be donated to the Autism Awareness Care and Training Centre in Accra.
