Independence of Ghana has become a period to reminisce the struggle and victory won for self-Governance from Ghana's Colony, the Great Britain during the Gold Coast era of Kwame Nkrumah. Our, nation Ghana has grown through struggles and grace.

Today, so many sister countries have established stronger friendship with Ghana and celebrate with any national and International events.

On the 6th of March, 2015, John Kerry (Secretary of State, Washington DC) released a Press Statement of American's support to Ghana's Independence celebration.

The question is, how can the youths of Ghana be mentored and brought to the end of the tunnel of goodwill and hopes by making them believe in the struggle of our past and present national leaders by imbibing in Ghanaian youths the spirit of National support, as being done by other countries towards Ghana.

For this purpose and needless to write much, brought the idea of “Independence Flag Walk” initiated to bring more purpose and meaning to the national flag by means of projecting on a walk at every national events, creating the platform for youths of Ghana to stamp their autograph and inspirational messages on the national flag as measure of propagating the messages of nationalism to other youths across the country and internationally by the support of our media.

This year, on the 6th of March, 2015, the project took a turn around Osu, Labadi and Labone. The people who showed their commitment were; individuals, staff of Metro TV, Staffs of ECG Call Centre Staff and Old students of St.Aquinas& PRESEC.
