INTRODUCTION
I am Mahamadu Salam (cryptolib), a Dash enthusiast and currently running the Dash Roadshow in Ghana. My first event for the Roadshow recorded about 200 participants and i am now in the first month of the roadshow to take Dash across Ghana. See updates of the roadshow here: https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/...dshow-in-ghana-west-africa.16388/#post-143358
I am the founding president of Centre for Liberty and Entrepreneurship, (CLE-Ghana) www.cleghana.org a Free markets & Liberty Think Tank. The organization has got chapters such as the Teachers for Liberty and Economic freedom. This pre-proposal is targeting these teachers.
SUMMARY:
Teachers play a major role in the development of every country. But unfortunately, in Ghana teachers are among the least paid. Most teachers receive as low as ₵800.00 ($200.00) every month and a pension gratuity of less than ₵20,000.00 ($5,000.00). Ghana has a total population of 26million with 378,242 public sector teachers.
Teachers for Liberty and Economic freedom, a chapter of CLE-Ghana seeks to organize a workshop to educate and practically train teachers to find other source of livelihood and impart these new ideas on their students so that the students will not depend on government for jobs after school owing to the alarming rate of graduate unemployment in Ghana. We will train 400 Ghanaian teachers (40 per location) from five (5) selected District/Municipal/Metropolitan in the next one month on how to invest in cryptocurrencies with emphasis on DASH to accumulate wealth (as a pension gratuity to some extend) in the long term and nurture their students in a digital currency era. This would help to expand the frontiers of DASH in Ghana and Africa as a whole alongside the roadshow.
DESCRIPTION:
The training/Workshops will be held in five locations within selected districts/municipal/metropolitan. Forty (40) participants (Teachers) are expected to attend the training/workshop at each selected location (Yendi Municipality, Savelugu municipal, Kumbungu Distric, Tamale Metropolitan and Walewale District).
Below are outputs and outcomes of this training/workshops:

Below is the planned activity for them:-
Team 1: Five teachers from each district would be trained to promote Dash and convince teachers to purchase at least 3 Dash and hold it for at least 5-10years. This will serve as a long term store of value of their money (pension gratuity to some extend). The team will always collaborate with the other 30 teachers who attended the workshop to promote Dash among teachers in Ghana.
Team 2: Two teachers from each district would be trained to set up Dash Entrepreneurs Club in schools so that Dash could be promoted among students. A fund of $500.00 worth of DASH would be used to support each district and students would be encouraged to use their savings to purchase Dash to accumulate capital and wealth. The team will collaborate with the other 30 teachers from their district/municipal/metropolitan to set up these clubs in their school.
Team 3: Two teachers from each district/municipal/metropolitan would promote mass adoption of Dash among parents and the community they live. They will speak at School Management Meetings, Parents Teachers Association meeting, community gathering and among others.
