Good day,
This message is coming from Buka Publications, publishers of the National Student Magazine, a magazine for high school (shs) students in Ghana. We thought you may be interested in these views of high school students who told us that they wish for peaceful elections, long before the topic of peace was talked about in local newspapers. Although many shs students are not eligible to vote, many are also eligible. Even those who are not eligible have opinions on the election because young people strongly believe that we are caretakers of their future and they want to be involved in the decision making which affects their world.
With regards,
Nafisa Nassir-Deen
