The flagship of the Graphic Communications Group Limited last Saturday launched the Volta Region Spotlight, a special supplement on the Volta Region. It was the 5th of such editions to be launched since July 2019 and was preceded by a health walk.

Edmages brings you some pictures from the historic event.

For seven decades their name has been synonymous to a newspaper in Ghana. Truth & Accuracy Every Day has been their mantra. Of course I am referring to Graphic and the larger GRAPHIC COMMUNICATIONS GROUP LIMITED (GCGL) which has survived the storms for 70 solid years. Happy 70th Anniversary Graphic from Edmages.

The Dubai Bateaux Experience

One of the very relaxing moments we enjoyed on a recent visit to Dubai for a media familiarisation tour organised by Emirates was the Bateaux sailing and dining ride experience on the Dubai Creek. Edmages captured some colourfully lighted boats filled with people also taking in the night splendour of Old Dubai . 

Oh that Ghana would also emulate this tourist attraction on our water bodies instead of polluting them. #flyemiratesflybetter #flyemirates @emirates #dubaidiaries #canonshots

 

This is Xuzhou

One of the first and amazing provinces CAPC 2017 was privileged to visit was Jiangsu. There the fellows of the China Africa Press Centre were awed by how a vast coal mining area had been turned into a beautiful eco tourism park among other exciting places visited. Below are some of the lovely scenes captured by Edmages.

Welcome to Nanjing

Nanjing means capital of the south and a former capital of the People's Republic of China. There are many memories from the amazing city captured by Edmages in March 2017. 

It would not be fair to humanity if some of the lovely scenes and unforgettable experiences were not shared. 

So this marks the beginning of the posting of pictures from my 10-month sojourn in China in 2017.
The following were pictures captured with my Infinix Note 2 phone. Enjoy.

Nana Amponsah Adepa Yeboah I is a woman but she is the Kyidomhene of Akyem-Tafo in the Eastern Region. She was the Special Guest of Honour at the 5th Graduation Ceremony of the College of Counselling and Psychology (CCP), Accra, which was on the theme; "Healing a hurting world: The role of the Counsellor which was held on January 11, 2020. In all 84 students graduated with Executive Certificate in Counselling.

Nana Yeboah I did not only grace the occasion with her presence but she also danced majestically to traditional drumming which heralded her arrival and saw her off after the function.

Well the roving lenses of Edmages captured some kingly steps.

You may choose t call it green carpet and you would not be wrong but the most important thing is that there was a specially designated place for photos during the event.
