Rebirth of Culture.

Africa is the mother of many children and am proud to be one of hers. Africa as a continent has the second largest population, the longest river in the world is located in it. I don't want to go further to tell you all about Africa and its people; I may not complete it all.

On May 25 each year in Africa, Africans celebrate Africa Day. This day commemorates the founding of the Organization of African Unity, OAU now known as the African Union; AU. It aims to celebrate the unity between Africans. Aside its main purpose, the day serves as an opportunity for reconciliation  between sister countries and citizens.

On this day, Africans display their tradition and culture. Somewhere in Ghana, the day brought smiles on the faces of children and hope for future. They [Children] dressed in their beautiful  traditional regalia as they advocate for girls and their rights.

I sampled views of some children on what they know about the celebration. It came out loud and clear that, they don't know much about AU day yet they join the troop to celebrate. And even wish everyday could be AU day. What matters to these young ones is the joy the day comes with, the love and care to help them develop, and above all; their voice that needs to be heard.

      

I reckon that this celebration will be different from the previous celebration. Let's throw the challenge to ourselves and push for young people's agenda. Frustration has taken the better part of some lives, a smile is far from reached. The time to set the pace for development is now.

Happy #AU Day.
