Expressing gratitude and love on Mother’s Day
Dear Editor,
I am writing to commend all mothers across the globe for their endless love and support in ensuring the comfort of their children and families.
I am reminded of the tremendous influence mothers have on our lives and the significance of honouring and recognising them as Mother’s Day draws near. Mothers are the hidden heroes of the family; they sacrifice a lot and put the needs of others above their own as they labour diligently to give their children love, support, and direction.
Let’s take a moment on Mother’s Day to honour mothers and their unwavering love and selflessness. They provide us consolation during difficult times, encouragement during our successes, and a shoulder to cry on at all times. They certainly are unique and irreplaceable in our lives because of their constant dedication and unconditional affection.
I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to all mothers worldwide for the immense selflessness they exhibit on a daily basis. We are inspired and shaped into the people we are today by your love, tenacity, and fortitude. Let’s express our gratitude and admiration for everything that mothers do on Mother’s Day and every day.
I want to express my gratitude to all the mothers, grandmothers, stepmothers, foster mothers, and other mother figures for their unwavering sacrifices, love, and support. Our families and communities genuinely revolve on your love. Cheers to Mother’s Day!

Make Heritage Day celebration compulsory for workers
Dear Editor,
I want to use this platform to suggest that the celebration of Heritage Month is declared compulsory, especially for workers in state agencies.
It is very interesting watching broadcasters adorned in diverse traditional regalia on our screens, telling the stories of the various tribes in the country.
But away from the television sets, there is practically nothing to see in town suggesting the celebration of such an important activity.
Once in the month, we also see our school children celebrating the event by dressing to depict where they come from.
But just as was done with the Chocolate Day celebration, I wish to suggest that workers in state agencies are forced to partake in the event. Within that month, every working staff should be made to dress in African prints or ones that would show where they come from.
That, to a large extent would give people a lot of education about their ancestry and their cultural values.
I have a few friends that are Gas from the Greater Accra region but because their parents stayed in other regions and gave birth to them outside Accra, they have little or no idea about where they actually come from.
Some of these activities would go a long way to educate such people to know their real homes.
I expect the Ministry of Tourism to play an active role in the success of this exercise.
