(Greater Accra) 04 August 2000
Children
must be helped to develop their creative talents to enable them to appreciate
the environment around them. They should also be encouraged to develop interest
in activities they participate in so as to develop their own artistic talents.
This
was the view of guests at the opening of a three-day art exhibition in Accra on
Thursday titled "Colours of Life," which focuses public attention on
the development of the creative ability of the Ghanaian child.
Mr.
Peter Kpordugbe, Chairman of the Mmofra Foundation, organisers of the
Exhibition, said it was necessary for children to become broad-minded and to be
able to communicate effectively.
He
said the foundation is organising itself to meet the increasing demands of the
membership of its language club. Membership has increased about 30 per cent
this year.
The
United States Ambassador to Ghana, Kathryn Dee Robinson, who was the special
guest of honour, noted that the early development of children is a positive
step in realising their full potential.
