About
GUBA Awards
GUBA
(Ghana UK Based Achievement awards) is a non-profit Business &
Innovation Awards instituted to celebrate, acknowledge, and support
Ghanaian based businesses and individuals in the UK. The GUBA Awards
is the first ceremony of its kind to specifically recognize Ghanaian
achievement and the only awards to be endorsed by the Ghana High
Commission in the UK. It is intended as a platform that "showcases
and celebrates excellence and achievement within the British-Ghanaian
community as well as the outstanding and valuable services provided
to Ghanaians in the UK and Ghana". More recently, the organizers
have sought to also involve the wider African communities as they
attempt to gain international attention.
The
Ghana UK Based Achievement (GUBA) Awards is an annual awards ceremony
based in Britain which recognizes the 'hugely significant'
contribution that British-Ghanaians make to society. The awards were
founded in 2009 by UK-based Ghanaian TV personality Dentaa, with the
first awards ceremony taking place in London, England, in October
2010.
About
R.E.S.T.O.R.E.
(http://www.restoreworldwide.org)
R.E.S.T.O.R.E.
is a 501(c)(3) non-profit medical service organization that provides
free reconstructive surgery and related medical services to children
and adults with disfiguring deformities from birth, accidents and
diseases. Many developing countries shun those afflicted with
disfiguring deformities and look upon them as outcasts or "freaks".
Often their own families hide them from the general public to spare
them from either being ridiculed or physically harmed because of
their disfigured appearance. Although there is an overwhelming need
for plastic surgery in developing countries, these types of surgeries
are not available because there are no personnel trained to provide
the necessary surgeries. As part of the organization's mission they
seek to educate and train local physicians in the techniques
necessary to perpetuate their initial work to continually benefit
more people for years to come.
