It was like a hidden fun basket let open at the Aviation Social Centre over the weekend when several children gathered and competed in teams named after their favourite cartoon characters such as Batman, Ben 10, Bunny, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Tom and Jerry and many more. It was such a delight to see the children playing, laughing and learning at the same time. The day was also an opportunity for many of the children to get to network and make new friends. The children took part in activities such as athletics, tug of war, lime and spoon racing, basketball, bouncy castles, Indomie sponsored eating competition and so many more. Young and pretty Ruth Tetteh from the St. Benedict School, Dansoman, emerged winner of the tough musical chairs competition, beating 14 other contestants. “I always want to win, no matter how tough the competition. I’m very happy to be the winner,” Ruth said beaming with smiles. The winners from the various activities were also presented with prizes from Tigo, Indomie, GCB and Global Media Alliance. The parents or guardians were not left out; as they cheered their children to victory in the various competitions. Some of them were also lucky enough to catch up with old friends and colleagues. They also shared among themselves the challenges of raising their kids, the new ways of good parenting and practical ways of dealing with today’s children. Corporate entities like KLP (publishers of children’s books), GT Bank as well as Ghana Commercial Bank used the event sell their child-related products to parents and advised them to invest in their children’s. This is the third annual festival organized by Global Media Alliance with support from Cartoon Network. It is organized every July to give opportunity to Ghanaians and foreigners to commemorate and celebrate the Republic Day of Ghana in a relaxing and refreshing atmosphere. This year’s event was sponsored by Rabina InflatableFun, Coca-Cola, Indomie noodles, Fanmilk, SilverBird, Y FM and TV Africa. Source: Global Media Alliance
