Dr Joyce Aryee and other influential women in Ghana are poised to mentor 200 Vodafone Scholars at a three-day camp meeting in Kumasi to empower girls studying Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) at the Senior Secondary School level.
From Wednesday 6th to Friday 8th April, 2016, the camp meeting will have Dr Joyce Aryee, Executive Director of Salt and Light Ministries and Chairperson of the Vodafone Ghana Foundation; Constance Swaniker, Chief Executive Officer of Accents & Art Ltd; Farida Bedwei a celebrated software engineer and Anita Erskine a renowned radio and TV personality, sharing their life experiences and success stories to encourage the students to do more.
