Databank Foundation Young Leaders Mentorship Programme (YLMP)

YLMP MINI-SEMINAR REPORT AS AT 08/06/12



YLMP



As part of the Young Leaders Mentorship Programme (YLMP), a Quiz between the two schools and a mentor-mentee session was held at the Accra High School. In attendance were three out of twenty junior mentors, a former junior mentor and nineteen mentees- five from Kinbu Senior High school and fourteen from Accra High school.

To make the quiz competitive and involving, we put the mentees into two groups.  Deborah Nana Ama Abbey and Appiah Godfred represented group 1 and Vivian Essi Avugla and Selasi Mensah represented group 2. The quiz master was Mr John Asamoah; a junior mentor who is currently interning with the Databank Foundation. John’s sense of humour made the quiz session an enjoyable one. By the end of the 22 questions, there was a tie between the two groups with each group coming up with 52.5 points. The tie breaker was a question on leadership posed to both teams. The group that best convinced Elinam Adadevoh emerged the winners. I’d like to say congratulations to group 1.

The mentee-mentor session followed with only 4 mentees having to meet up with their junior mentors. The other mentees had to go home due to the absence of their junior mentors. The deadline for submission of appraisal forms was on this same date; however as at today we have received only six appraisal forms from junior mentors. We would like to say a big thank you to the few junior mentors who have been able to submit their appraisal forms.We would also like to encourage those who have not submitted their's to do so.

We had a really really nice time and hope that all junior mentors would make it a point to be present the next time we have a mentor-mentee session.
