Ocran, Dr. and Mrs. Quarshie, Archie Adams, Yaw Twumasi and Patricia and Kofi Fofie. The founders got together because Mr. Ben Asare Quansah also a founding member had lost his mother and the group gathered as they wanted to help him during this difficult time and from that came the idea to form a sense of community for social gatherings and to teach their 1st generation Canadian children about the culture and to leave a legacy, volunteerism. pride, love, community and support.
