Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 46701, member: 636"] The Bible Society of Ghana held a special meeting for teenage girls from 15 junior high schools. Students from Savelugu Municipality learned about preventing early pregnancy. The group also taught girls how to make beads as a useful skill. Traditional leaders and health workers joined the event. School officials attended the educational program. Reverend Atia Anara Charles leads the Bible Society in the Northern Region. He wants to start a new program called Teens Trauma Programme. The program will help teenagers deal with mental health problems. Charles believes bead making will keep girls busy during free time. He thinks productive activities prevent dangerous behaviors. A representative spoke for Sahakpal Naa about teenage pregnancy effects. The speaker said early pregnancy hurts both individuals and communities. He asked the public to work with organizations like the Bible Society. Mohammed Fuseini praised the program for protecting girls' futures. He told students to look up to successful women from their area like former politicians Mary Boforo and Hajia Ayishetu. Guest speaker Amatu Mercy told girls to avoid sexual activity. She thanked the Bible Society for helping young people grow. Mercy asked for more programs like this one. Students shared what they learned at the meeting. They promised to make smart choices and avoid early sexual relationships. The seminar ended with hands-on bead making lessons. Girls learned a valuable craft they can use during school breaks. The training gives students a way to earn money. Many participants thanked organizers for the helpful program. [/QUOTE]
