Hidden Treasure may refer to any valuable item which is covered up. In the Bible, Jesus Christ spoke in  parables about some of these hidden treasures. In this short article, the writer intends to talk about what voluntary work is about, why the youth should get involved in volunteerism, advantages and disadvantages of it. In short, volunteer as a noun refers to a person who offers services free of charge to people in need, community or organizations without pay. Volunteerism is the involvement of voluntary labour whilst volunteering is the act of offering a work or service for free. Voluntary work involves work that is done by the aid of volunteers. In the year 2014, I was offered Commonwealth Shared Scholarship to study in England, UK. During the application, I was shocked to find out that Voluntary Work was part of the scholarship requirements. I was asked to list all the voluntary work I'd done, with dates, organizations and specific work or activity. Then when I got the sch...

(Article by Sir Charles Freeman) Countries, governments, parents, and other stakeholders in education are thinking about how to re-open schools globally so that children can go to school. Ghana's circumstances is not different. As COVID-19 has put human beings, ideas, resources, and almost all things at abnormal position; out of  try and error method, we can move from this abnormal situation to the normal if all ideas and suggestions are critically looked at regardless of where it is coming from.  In this article, I intend to draw attention to some challenges of school re-open and use leading questions which can compel us to think further to arrive at possible solutions. The fact that we are in dilemma and not in normal times does not mean country like Ghana should rush and take decisions or copy from other countries blindly without assessing its own perculiar situation, ability, capability, material and human resources, environment and culture. Do we have to re-open our scho...

 (Article By Sir Charles Freeman) Indiscipline can be defined as failure to control one's behaviour and/or to disobey rules and regulations of a society. The opposite which is discipline is the act of compliance or conformity to rules and regulations of a society. I may not be wrong to say disobedience, stubborness and waywardness are children of indiscipline. Indiscipline is dated back from creation and still with us. Our first parents disobeyed God and ate the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden. From creation to date, animals continue to eat herbs as their food but man is not satisfied with fruits and vegetables. Male animal goes for female animal as partners for continuity of their generation. But some men go for men whereas some women go for women as married partners.  Apart from the day Joshua commanded the Sun to stand still without moving (Joshua 10:12-14), the Sun always rises from the East and sets at the West. God set bars and doors for the Sea, and ordered it no...

(Article By Sir Charles Freeman) From Garden of Eden to the place later named as Babel meaning  Confusion , "the whole earth spoke one language and of one speech until God divided human race using "Language." Genesis 11:1-9. Language is one of the most important aspects of culture. When you lost it, you lost your culture. God knows why He used nothing, but Language to group people and put them in a defined geographical areas.  Just look at the resources of Africa, compare to the resources of advanced/developed countries. What is it missing in all these, such that they call African countries "Developing Countries?" The answer may be the adoptation or change of Language; i.e. selling our birth right. Using our God-giving language is our natural right which should not be taken away. Put all the Developed or rich countries together. Which one among them uses Foreign Languages as medium of instructions in their schools and as Official National Languages? The answer ...
