Hello there,
Welcome to the Application package for AIESEC in Ghana 15.16 MCVPs. You made this far…Kudos!!
Over the course of time I have come to the realization that truly there is nothing more satisfying than
committing your time and resources to empowering and enabling others to grow and see themselves
become better. This has been my drive to continue in AIESEC and my motivation to be the captain that sails
this ship to greater heights.
With just a few months to the ultimate achievement of our mid-term ambitions, I call on board brave,
purposeful, creative minds like yours to join forces and to see to the making of this entity’s vision and that of
the Global organization a reality.
The path you dare to walk on, is one that is going to challenge you in every way possible, push you beyond
your limitations, and make you do even the unimaginable, however, if you are going to remain loyal and
true to the course you have chosen, then I promise you, I am going to do every within my power to make
the journey worth it in every way possible. You will see yourself grow and become a better version of yourself
but most importantly at the end of the day, the fulfilment you will gain compared to the sacrifices, will leave
you with smiles, and a deep sense of satisfaction.
I looking forward to getting to know about you through this application, your capabilities and what you
bring to the table
I can do something, you can too, but together we can do so much more, together we can do anything.

See you on the other side.
