Speaking to one of the many people who thronged the Reggies Courtyard to witness the launch, she admitted the idea behind putting together the group was quite inspiring and was going to help a lot in changing how people, especially the youth, perceive plus sized women in the new era of society.

She also encouraged the group to use their platform to fight against the adoption of drugs by some plus sized women to reduce their weight. “God created us all differently and we should cherish what He gave us,” she added.

The launch of Thick Girls Entertainment also doubled as the birthday celebration of its Chief Executive. 

“SAMINI LIGHTS A MILLION LIVES” LAUNCHED

Popular Ghanaian dancehall artiste, Emmanuel Andrews Samini known in showbiz as Samini has launched a solar project aimed at distributing one million solar lanterns mostly to deprived communities in the country for free in Accra.

 The project, being executed by the Million Lives Foundation, was out-doored as “Samini lights a million lives” at the launch yesterday. The launch took place at the 2006 MOBO Award winner’s restaurant, Dancestardom.

Speaking at the launch, Samini said that the project was meant to promote the use of solar energy in the country.

The foundation, which is partnering with some companies including Ecotech Green Limited, to build an assembling plant that would spearhead the distribution and by extension create jobs, was born out of the artiste’s dream to establish an enterprise where he could use sunlight to generate light for use.

He noted that the lanterns would be distributed mostly to communities in the northern part of the country that do not have access to electricity. The distribution will be preceded with a national sensitization concert that will be done in every city in the country.

Throwing more light on the beneficiaries of the project, Samini said, “Beside these communities, the project is also targeting schools and medical centres across the country to assist them with light whenever there is a power-cut.

The project is part of activities to mark the 10th Anniversary of the Linda hit maker in the music industry

The Executive Director for the project, Mr. Paul Boateng noted that the lantern was durable and comes with a two year warranty and it was designed to also use cell battery in event that there is no sunlight for days.
