\u2018Onamdaade\u2019<\/em> is an Akan word used in Ghana which literally means (a person without a vehicle). It has similar meaning in this short text.<\/p>\n

It is a hilarious moment at AWDF since we now have our own office building which is spacious and magnificent. We are still settling down and this coming Thursday (27th November 2008) is the official commissioning of the building (every body is invited anyway).<\/p>\n

The area is serene and well laid out. In terms of categorization of urban settlement, I will place it in the first class category. I must be honest; it very well befits the status of a feminist grant making organization, such as AWDF, which has immensely supported the empowerment of women and women\u2019s rights promotion through provision of grants to support several women-led initiatives on the African Continent since its establishment seven years ago.<\/p>\n

Although acquiring our own property is a boost to the organization, it has also brought untold hardship to the \u2018onamdaade<\/em>\u2019 staff because no commercial vehicle plies the vicinity, making life for such category of staff unbearable.<\/p>\n

One has to either take a dropping <\/em>( a chartered Taxi) from Tetteh Quarshie roundabout which is approximately $4.00 a day (for a return journey) or wait at Tetteh Quarshie roundabout and make numerous calls to colleagues with vehicles to find out who is passing by at that particular moment for a lift. It is indeed a daunting task.<\/p>\n

\u2018Onamdaade\u2019<\/em> comrades, better think of how to get your own vehicles before colleagues decide not to pick up your calls in the morning. Thank you.<\/p>\n
