Right to Dream Academy has unveiled a monument to mark its 25 years of empowering young talent through sports and education.
A grand durbar was held earlier on Monday, November 25, at Old Akrade in the Eastern Region, bringing together alumni - notably James Nortey and Ousseni Bouda - alongside dignitaries and community leaders.
The unveiling of a monument designed to mark the academy’s 25th anniversary.
"What we try to do was to put up the "Kania" [Light in Twi] symbol but we made it in 25 pieces," Chief Executive Officer for Right to Dream Ghana, Alex Aseidu said.
“The 25 represents the 25 years Right to Dream has been [in existence], of excellent nurturing of talent on and off the field.”
Residents of the community performed a vibrant display of culture, reflecting the academy’s deep-rooted impact since its founding in 1999 by Tom Vernon.
From football fields to classrooms, Right to Dream has touched countless lives, helping individuals excel in sports, academics, and personal development.
Among its notable graduates are Ivorian Simon Adingra, Ghana’s Mohammed Kudus and Kamaldeen Sulemana, and Burkina Faso’s Ousseni Bouda.
