APC was in Hamburg,report by Mr Kelvin Ojugo
On the 21. 10 20017,the Áfrican People’s Convection (A.P.C) sent 7 delegates which humbly attended the TOPAFRIC 7th African Youth Educational Award in Hamburg.
The attendees include: Mrs Amie Ceeesay, Mr. Balo Momodu, Mr. Ignatius Igator, Mr. Kelvin Ojugo, Mr. Goodman Service, Mr. Simon and Mr. Awung Stephen, the President of APC.
The ceremony was so amazing to see African youths who were able to carry on their educational career and graduated from the university despise the cost of living and language difficulties in Germany.
What amazed me was the testimony of a young lady from Rwanda, who came to Germany alone when she was a little girl as a refugee.Despise the difficulties she encountered, she choosed to study while going to work to pay her house rent and her other school needs.
Her poor Parent whom she was getting little help from died but that did not stop her from pursuing her dream to study and she finally graduated as a dentist. Is that not amazing? We also heard the story of a young woman who came to Germany as a refugee from Mali but work hard to become the first black parliamentarian in the German state of Schlesing-Holstein.This lady holds a degree in political science and a member of the Left party in Germany.
This award was given to African youths who exel either in their studies or apprentership to boost up their zeal to succeed in their quest and contribute meaningful to the society. Many motivational speeches were given to encourage the youth like that of the Vice Ambassador of Ghana who advised the community to respect the laws of the host country and play a role in the development of Africa.
This event also challenges most of us, whom do think that language is a hindrance to success; no no no no. You can, I mean we can do more better if we really want to. APC has been assisting African youths to integrate in the German labour market through mentoring and educational fora organised on regular basis.
