Dear Fellow Ghanaians in Russia,

As the year draws to a close and the festive season unfolds, I, Ebenezer Wepari, President of the Association of Compatriots and the entire Members of Cabinet, extend to you and your families the warmest Seasons Greetings!

This year has been one of resilience, adaptation, and a continued strengthening of the bonds that tie us together as a community. We’ve navigated challenges with the spirit of *Akwaaba* – welcoming each other with open arms and unwavering support. Let us celebrate not only the joy of the season, but also the vibrant Ghanaian culture we proudly represent here in Russia, enriching the tapestry of this great nation.

May the New Year bring forth opportunities for professional growth, academic success, and continued positive contributions to both our host country and our beloved Ghana. Let’s continue to be ambassadors of our heritage, showcasing the warmth, ingenuity, and determination that define us.

I wish you a season filled with laughter, delicious *jollof* (even if it's a nostalgic craving!), and the comforting presence of loved ones. May your homes be blessed with peace, prosperity, and the promise of a brighter future.

Yε Ma Mo Afehyia Pa! (We wish you well!) and a Happy New Year!

Sincerely,

Ebenezer Wepari

President, Association of Compatriots

Ghanaian Community in Russia.
