My dear Ghanaian,
6th March 2009, we celebrate the 52nd independence aniversary of Ghana our motherland. I greet you all on this day of national and patriotic significance. This day we remember our freedom.

2009 is memorable to all black people because of bro.OBAMA's induction as the President of USA. We join Ghanaians accross the planet to celebrate the induction of President Ata Mills and his team.

Regardless of our party affiliations, we salute and welcome our Beloved President. We implore the Good mighty God and the gods of our land to help him lead Ghana to the development that we desire.

This day we salute Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah our independence hero.This day we cherish the beauty of our Red, Gold, Green and our shining Blackstar. This day we recall the great sacrifice of the fighters for our freedom. This day we sustain the undying love of Ghanaians for Ghana.

Many have worked hard over these 52 years to bring Ghana this far. Many have sacrificed their lives for the cause of our unity,integrity and progress.

The Ghanaian Community in France R.C.(GHACIF) will keep contributing it's quota towards the progress of our dear country.Over the last seven years,GHACIF's outlined vision has brought dynamism into this society of Ghanaians living in France. A mighty hand has been stretched out to Ghanaians backhome.

2009 is a special year for GHACIF. It is the year preceding the first decade of this second millenium. Decades are periods of inventory and therefore we shall have to enrich ours.

A Gallery of National Importance is under construction under the patronage of the GHACIF PRESIDENT and his team in GHANA.It will have to be opened before next 6th March.It will feature pictures and objects portraying Ghana's Culture. This Galery unlike it's homogenous, is located at Asante Akim Domeabra a Rural area of Ghana. It is our way of promoting tourism in remote Ghana. It shall be called, GHANA'S CULTURAL GALLERY.

The pictures which have already served for Sankofa Ghana's Kente and Gold exhibition at the homeland of Airbus industry Toulouse,is the making of Mr. Jake Yirenkyi Anderson a Ghanaian Photographer Based in France. It assembles photographs of all Ghanaian traditions. This Gallery which we expect appealing will be a living example of Diasporean Contribution. ( Visit jkyanderson.com )

We recall that a team under the patronage of the GHACIFPRESIDENT has built a school at the same area for 200 children.We are grateful to God and people of that area for making us useful to our country.
Truly our journey to this end has not been easy but we have enjoyed the turbulences which challenged us.Today many Ghanaians say with satisfaction that on many fronts,GHACIF has done well. Be assured. We desire to go further, God being our helper.

Solidarity amongst people of one Nation with a common destiny is what we preach.As we focus on Ghana's Coat of Arms, it's Freedom and Justice, As we focus on France' Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité. We wish you all a happy celebration. NEVER STOP BUILDING GHANA. Gyina Pintiin Na Boa Ghana.

Long live the Independence of Ghana. Long live the hospitality of France. Long live the Ghanaian Community in France. GOD BLESS YOU
