AmeyawDebrah.Com announces ‘Yummy Mummy Of The Month’

Published

on

So in the spirit of celebrating Mothers’ Days, I have come up with yet another one of my crazy ideas for my lifestyle section, and depending on the response, it may become a regular monthly contest just like ‘GH Hunk & Hottie of the Month’. 

So basically, I want us to celebrate a ‘Yummy mummy’ each month –  young or old mothers who still look amazing after going through the tough cycle of carrying a baby in their wombs for 9-months, childbirth, breast-feeding and bringing up their children.

If you fit the description or think your mother fits the description, then send photos and details such as name, number of children, occupation or age (I know ladies don’t tell their age hahaha) to ameyawtv@gmail.com.

The winner will get a special treat and gifts from me…wink.

The Western Regional Minister and Member of Parliament for Takoradi, Honorable Kwabena Okyere Darko – Mensah has commended the Board and Management of the Ghana Export – Import Bank (GEXIM) for organizing a special edition of its popular Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) Fair dubbed, Tuesday Market, in the Western Region.

Dubbed the “Western Weekend Market”, the fair took place at the Takoradi Mall, from Friday 17th to Sunday 19th May 2024 at the Takoradi Mall, between 8am and 10pm daily. The fair provided a platform for Ghanaian entrepreneurs across the Western and neighboring regions to showcase their various top-quality and uniquely packaged Made-In-Ghana products.

 Honorable Kwabena Okyere Darko – Mensah participated in the fair on Saturday 18th May 2024. Supported by the Deputy Chief Executive Officer of GEXIM, responsible for Banking, Ms. Rosemary Beryl Archer, the Minister inspected the Made-In-Ghana products being exhibited and took time to engage the vendors to get an insight into their business operations and products.

Speaking to the media after the event, Honorable Darko – Mensah congratulated GEXIM for the initiative to support SMEs to scale up and harness their export potential. Very impressed with the unique and amazing products being exhibited, the Minister urged the Bank to continue organizing more fairs in the region to benefit the growing entrepreneurs in the Western region.

“It is exciting and refreshing to be seeing these uniquely packaged products here today and most importantly, knowing there were products by Ghanaians and most of them produced in the Western region. I am very impressed with the work that has gone into organizing this amazing fair and I wish to commend the Ghana Export – Import Bank for this great initiative in addition to all the great things the Bank is doing for and with Ghanaian entrepreneurs across the country.

I must say it is the way to go as it contributes towards economic development and the creation of jobs for Ghanaians. With this initiative and others, we are on our way to achieving the Government of Ghana’s industrialization agenda. We will urge GEXIM to continue with the fair in the Western region and the SME Clinic to help build the capacity of SMEs in the region and beyond”, he stated.

On her part, Ms. Rosemary Beryl Archer expressed the Bank’s appreciation to the Minister and all stakeholders who made the “Western Weekend Market” a success. She further highlighted the significance of developing the Ghanaian SME sector and the important contribution entrepreneurs can make to economic development when they are empowered and supported to become more efficient.

I am happy we have all these SMEs here today and they are being promoted both locally and internationally to be patronized. We cannot belittle the crucial role of SMEs in the national development agenda, witnessing the sector’s important contribution to the economic transformation of several countries globally, where it accounts for over 50% of private output.

We have had some great feedback from the vendors which indicates how the fair has broadened their knowledge base from engagement with their colleagues from other regions. We are looking at sending some of the SMEs from the Western Region to our SME fairs in other regions to get them aligned with what their colleagues in other regions are doing”, she added

On the sidelines of the “Western Weekend Market”, the Bank organized a training programme for the SMEs, dubbed “SME Clinic”, on Saturday 18th May 2024 also at the Takoradi Mall. The “Western SME Clinic” is aimed at building the capacity of entrepreneurs, exploring solutions to challenges faced by Ghanaian businesses as well as identifying pragmatic approaches to assist SMEs to scale up and become more efficient in their operations.

In a significant effort to save newborn lives, Twellium Industrial Company Limited, the producers of Verna Mineral Water, has donated four incubators and four pieces of phototherapy equipment to some selected health centers across Ghana. This initiative, conducted in partnership with the Ghana Medical Association, aims to address the shortage of essential medical equipment at birthing centers. The donation event took place on Tuesday May 21, 2024, at the Ghana Medical Association Center in Korle Bu, Accra. 

Ali Ajami, Marketing Director for Twellium Industries, emphasized the company’s commitment to making a substantial impact on child mortality rates in Ghana. “Child mortality is a matter of great concern to everyone, and Verna is always ready to support various medical facilities through our partner, the Ghana Medical Association. We are grateful for the support Ghanaians have shown to Verna Mineral Water. Through our Changing Lives campaign, we aim to improve the lives of more Ghanaians, especially those facing financial challenges,” Yehowada stated. He encouraged continued patronage of Verna products, noting that a portion of each purchase supports vital causes such as this one.IMG 7088

Dr. Ahmed A. Mensah, Chairman of the Ghana Medical Association’s Greater Accra Division, expressed gratitude for Verna Water’s support. He highlighted that this donation is part of an ongoing commitment from Verna, noting that last year the company also donated four incubators and four phototherapy equipment. These were distributed to eight hospitals across the country: Dominase SDA Hospital (CHAG) and Bekwai Municipal Hospital in the Ashanti Region, Effia Nkwanta Regional Hospital in the Western Region, Hohoe District Hospital in the Oti Region, Ga West District Hospital in Amasaman, Ewim Polyclinic in the Central Region, Tamale West Hospital, and Sunyani Municipal Hospital. Dr. Mensah called on other institutions to follow Verna’s example in giving back to society.

Twellium’s social responsibility initiatives extend beyond medical equipment donations. In July 2022, the company constructed a canteen, a drainage system, and a fence wall at the Kaneshie Polyclinic. 

Additionally, through the Changing Lives campaign, Twellium covered the medical expenses for Rhoda Akorfa Senyegbe, who required surgery for a large left atrial myxoma at the National Cardiothoracic Centre, paying the cedi equivalent of $7,000, equivalent to GHC101, 500 for her treatment.

Twellium Industrial Company Ltd. continues to demonstrate its commitment to enhancing healthcare delivery in Ghana through sustained support and impactful donations, reinforcing its role as a vital partner in the nation’s health sector.

Amid Record-Breaking Heatwaves, Arizona Homeowners Rely on Expert AC Installations to Keep Their Homes Cool and Comfortable

Published

on

AC Installations

As Arizona grapples with relentless heatwaves, homeowners across the state are increasingly turning to expert air conditioning (AC) installations to maintain comfort and safety. With temperatures soaring to unprecedented levels, reaching and often exceeding 115 degrees Fahrenheit, the demand for reliable and efficient cooling systems has never been higher. This surge in demand underscores the critical role of HVAC professionals in ensuring residents can weather the scorching summer months.

Record-Breaking Heatwaves

The summer of 2024 has set new records for heat in Arizona, with the Phoenix metropolitan area experiencing consecutive days of extreme high temperature. This persistent heat, driven by rising global temperatures, has significantly strained existing cooling systems, many of which need help to cope with the increased load. As a result, HVAC companies are reporting a sharp rise in service calls and new installation requests.

Rising Demand for Modern AC Units

John Martinez, owner of Cool Breeze HVAC Solutions in Phoenix, notes a substantial uptick in business. ‘We’ve seen a 40% increase in installation requests compared to last year. People are realizing that their old units just can’t keep up with this kind of heat,’ he said. As a new AC installer, ‘Our priority is to ensure every home we service can stay cool and safe, no matter how high the mercury climbs.

Modern AC units are more efficient and environmentally friendly than their older counterparts. These new systems utilize advanced technology to provide consistent cooling while consuming less energy, which is crucial given the increased power usage during heat waves. Many homeowners are opting for high-efficiency models that not only cool more effectively but also reduce electricity bills and environmental impact.

Health and Safety Concerns

The installation of new AC units is not just a matter of comfort but also a critical health concern. Prolonged exposure to extreme heat can lead to serious health issues such as heat exhaustion and heat stroke, particularly among vulnerable populations like the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions. Ensuring that homes have reliable cooling systems is essential for preventing heat-related illnesses.

Importance of Regular Maintenance

HVAC professionals emphasize the importance of regular maintenance to keep AC units running efficiently. Routine checks and timely repairs can prevent sudden breakdowns during peak usage times. Homeowners are advised to schedule pre-summer inspections to ensure their systems are in optimal condition.

Energy Efficiency Tips

In addition to installations and repairs, many companies are offering tips to help homeowners maximize their cooling systems’ efficiency. Recommendations include using programmable thermostats, sealing leaks around windows and doors, and using ceiling fans to circulate air. These measures can help reduce the load on AC units and maintain a cooler indoor environment.

New AC Installer Options

New AC installer services, such as those provided by Morehart AC (https://morehartac.com/air-conditioning/ac-installation/), offer Comprehensive and Fair Solution for homeowners looking to upgrade their cooling systems. These services ensure that installations are performed correctly and efficiently, helping homeowners achieve optimal performance from their new units.

Conclusion

As climate change continues to drive up temperatures, the reliance on effective cooling solutions is likely to grow. Arizona’s experience serves as a stark reminder of the challenges posed by extreme weather and the vital role of technology in adapting to these changes. For homeowners, investing in modern, efficient air conditioning systems is a practical step toward ensuring comfort and safety amid the sweltering heat.
