The Kids in Tourism Team, led by their dedicated CEO, Nana Akua Afriyie, recently undertook a significant mission by paying a courtesy call to Ambassador Dr. Erieka Bennett, the esteemed Founder and Head of Mission of the Diaspora Africa Forum (DAF).

Three schools, fortunate beneficiaries of this support, experienced the positive impact of the collaboration, enhancing the overall success and reach of the festival.

The assistance from DAF not only contributed to the festival's success but also played a crucial role in fostering educational opportunities and cultural exchange for the participating schools.

During the visit, a poignant moment unfolded as the Kids in Tourism Team presented Ambassador Dr. Erieka Bennett with a thoughtfully crafted portrait by Christine Afrah Attakorah, a 14 Years old form 3 student from Vichans International School. Abelemkpe, Accra. This portrait, a product of the children's creativity and gratitude, symbolized the profound impact of collaboration and support. It stood as a testament to the meaningful connections forged between organizations with shared goals of empowering youth and promoting cultural understanding.

Ambassador Dr. Erieka Bennett graciously received the intricately crafted portrait from the Kids in Tourism Team, expressing her heartfelt appreciation for the thoughtful gesture.

Ambassador Dr. Erieka Bennett also acknowledged the pledge made by the Diaspora Africa Forum to take care of the kids and facilitate their visit to the United States. She expressed her excitement about the potential for this opportunity to broaden the horizons of the young participants, providing them with unique experiences and educational prospects.

“I am overwhelmed, and am very very speechless, I really thank Nana for the hard work she doing, the sacrifices she's made to make the Kids In Tourism a tremendous success.. One of the things that want to pledge as Diaspora Africa Forum is that we will take some of the kids to US”  She said

Ambassador Bennett's words resonated with a sense of optimism, highlighting the importance of continued support and collaboration in nurturing the potential of the younger generation.

The interaction during the courtesy call was not just a formal acknowledgment but a genuine expression of gratitude that reinforced the bond between the Kids in Tourism Team and the Diaspora Africa Forum. Beyond expressing thanks, discussions focused on the way forward, exploring possibilities for sustained collaboration and future initiatives.

In essence, the visit underscored the transformative potential when organizations unite for a common cause.
