Dr. Paul Ocansey donates to Senya Beraku Polyclinic.

 Dr. and Mrs. Paul Ocansey, from the United Kingdom, have, on Monday, 13th September 2021, donated high-grade PPEs to the Senya Beraku Polyclinic.

The donation, which was organised by Oracle Village on behalf of Dr. and Mrs. Ocansey, who were both presents, included nose masks, gloves, and aprons, worth thousands of Ghana Cedis. 



"My wife and I are full natives of Senya Beraku. We both work in the health sector in the UK and thought it wise to support this facility with the little we can as long as we have come home," said Dr. Paul. 

The Urban Council Chairman, Hon. Joseph Bennin, who also doubles as a member of the Oracle Village team, received the items on behalf of the community and handed them to the head of the polyclinic, Dr. Samuel Agyapong. 



Dr. Agyapong expressed profound appreciation to Dr. and Mrs. Paul for the gesture and promised the items would be put to the best use. "These items will better equip us to fight the Corona Virus pandemic as health workers and also keep us safe from being infected." He said.

Humorously, Dr. Agyapong alluded to Oliver Twist asking for more and prayed that such support is continually given to the facility. 

A second donation was made to the Senya Bonsuoku Chip Compound.

Present at the brief ceremony included all the departmental heads of the facility, the registrar of the Senya Traditional Council, youth representatives, and some patients and members of the community. 

Leading the Oracle Village team was Apostle Abeiku Okai, who was the master of the ceremony.

BRIEF HISTORY OF SENYA BIREKU Senya-Bireku is a coastal town in the Central Region of the Republic of Ghana, in the Awutu Senya District, or politically, Awutu Senya Constituency. It takes less than an hour traffic-free drive from Accra, the Capital, on the Accra-Winneba highway to reach Senya-Bireku, about seventy-seven kilometers. The people of Senya Bireku are Guans and they form part of the three Guan states in the Central Region: Efutu Bireku (Simpa/Winneba), Obutu Bireku (Awutu Bireku) and of course, Awutu Senya (Senya Bireku). All three states speak the Guan language with insignificant dialectical differences. Before the Fantes settled in the Southern part of the country, the central Guans where already settled, and so were the Senyans. In his book, Topics in West African History , pp 63, Adu Boahen stated: It is clear from oral traditions that the Akans who continued their migration southwards met in the coastal districts peoples who differed from them linguisti

SENYA BERAKU SE-YE ADA (Clan Names) || Akrama Ano Clan in Focus

Image
In Senya Beraku there are two basic forms of family relations and they are 'Se-ye' and 'Ni-ye'.  Literally Se-ye means father's house while Ni-ye means mother's house. When a Senya refers to his Ni-ye he is actually referring to his family, which is maternal. When he refers to his Se-ye he is referring to his clan, which is paternal. Children in Senya are named from their paternal clans by the senior member of the clan or his/her grandfather. Thus the child's father receives the name from his father or his father's brother if his father is late. This is important because in Senya tradition everybody from your father's clan is your father. Each Se-ye in Senya Beraku has peculiar male and female names that can be traced directly to the deity of the clan. And it enables easy identification of a person's background and father's clan. In this series I will be releasing Senya Beraku Se-Ye and their names starting with the Akrama Ano Clan. THE AKRAM
