It was also targeted at promoting Methodism among the children. The theme for the occasion was: Promoting Rich Ghanaian Heritage and Methodism.”
Ten young girls, representing all the regions of Ghana, thrilled the audience to various Ghanaian music and dance forms. They also recited poems depicting the values of the various regions and modelled and exhibited their talents.
