How are you? I'm great and you I'm also good
as well. Yeah, we're doing phenomenal today special especially that
(00:21):
we're gonna be you. Yeah, and I'm glad to wait
too long. And it's such a great opportunity. Yeah, thank you. Um.
So it's speaking about opportunities. Um. So you created Voices
on the mount So how did you start? Like what
does Voices on the mount mean to you? Okay, so
(00:44):
Voice in the Mountains, Um, it's a great question actually, um,
Voices on the Mountains umization that I created to empire
young people, especially in Africa, that we can make a difference.
You know if young people like you guys Brandon with Sebastian,
now you're working as young entreperents and what can we
(01:07):
do as well. But that is the main aim of
Voice and amount to empower young people that we can
do this, you can make a difference than others are doing.
Then why can't be That's just one thing that you know,
pushed me to create Voices in the amount to have
a group of young people come together to make a
difference and empower the people. That is amazing. And we
(01:30):
also have another question, what does Voices on the Mount
mean to you? Because you get to do such amazing things.
But we want to know how it makes you feel
to know that you're doing such great things for the
young people in our community. Yeah, okay, Voices in the
Amounts makes me feel this way that my age doesn't
limit to me to anything. My age doesn't limit me
(01:52):
in anything that I can't do. My age doesn't measure
my greatness. My great necessarily based on you know, my ideas.
My greatness is big on what I am able to do.
Not my age show me working as a young person.
Maybe a difference in my community comparing as your people
(02:12):
makes me steel that ages just and lumber wakes me steel.
That I'm young, but that doesn't stop me from achieving
great things. That doesn't stop me from being whoever I
want to do. So, as we know you are calling
from Ghana, so um Western Africa, and we just want
to know, wasn't like over there because we have no
(02:32):
idea what's like there? Um yeah, Um, Africa your listeners, no, um,
let's shout out to all the listeners here. Um. Africa
is a developing continents. Um. You know, I would not
say we are poor. It's not a poor continues. We
have a lot of resources, but it's a developing continent
(02:54):
and it has to most of the times depend on
developed countries like the US, kind of the in China
to two for some as that leads, and we actually
wish to develop with been planning. We've been working hard
to to change our story to move from a developing
continents to developed continents. Terms. We're filling to um, you know,
(03:19):
put their youth in in that set when you come
over here in Africa, youth have a very small portion,
for a very small part to play when it comes
to development. And that is really affectiveness. So over here,
unlike in the America and the UK and all the
other continents of Europe and all those other continents, young
(03:43):
people do not really have a voice. Young people are
not really empowered. Young people are not really making a change,
and that is you know, asserting our developments in a way.
So over here is different from the story in other
continents and other countries, young people or do not have
a pact play that the story is being turned around.
(04:04):
Well that is that is very important, and especially that
you're doing it at such a young age and you're
fifteen correct, yes, yes, so so you're fifteen. So when
did you start Voices on the Mount? Okay um one
is from the month? Did you start? So long ago?
(04:25):
It started about a year ago. It started as a
child protection UMU organization or a group where just a
group of classmates trying to create awareness on trafficking or
child trafficking. Then gradually it developed into do into a
(04:47):
use of paramapanization. So it started maybe when I was
sporting last year. Yeah, for sure because of Voices on
the Mount. I have a question, what is the most
memorable thing you've done for the community, Like you help
other people? That was the most important thing to you?
The most importance thing that Poises and Amount has done
(05:11):
or that I have done um was to you know,
provide um eight for an often aging our community. And
what's funny about it is it was recent during the
given Tuesday was yesterday, we traveled all the way into
a town that is deep in a first and if
(05:33):
you believe it, that's where their children, so where often
it is located. And the generals beautiful. The experience was
nice because the road was unconstructed. It was so bad,
was dusty. We sometimes had to get down and walk
for about twenty minutes then you pick a car. It
was such an amazing experience and just getting there alone.
(05:56):
Give us that, Matt Joy, that's just one memorable thing
that you know. I can see that you've done. It's
recent to us. On Tuesday yesterday you traveled a long
way into the forest just a children, so investors to
keep it. That is amazing. We really need more people
in the world like you who are really inspiring others
(06:18):
and helping others at the same time their community. And
the thing you did yesterday was also amazing. And would
you like to do do anything well, yes, speaking of like
you have to help kids, like raise money and raise
awareness and how many people are in your group to
help um donate stuff and make you know, it's a
(06:39):
good really like cool thing that I that I saw
you really recycle stuff and make it into everyday things,
which is just phenomenal. Yeah, we're just a group of
ten members. Your ten and we over here. It's actually
(07:00):
very difficult to read funds. Um. There's no online platforms
like go fund me helps funds, and getting funds to
people there is actually very very difficult. So we'll be
a group of ten people actually presume that we cannot
be can re being children in the first place, as
(07:22):
people discouraged us that we cannot get the money. But
we have this great idea that our country is polluted
the plastic and we are rated as one of the
top countries that have assumed too much plastic in the environment.
So we decided to come up an idea and make
(07:43):
a difference in that aspect of our country. We started
collecting plastic bushels, then we recycled them pential cases and containers.
Then we sell them at the end of the day,
recycling to reduce plastic pollution, reading funds for projects. Then
were also developing our skills and many news things. Yeah,
(08:10):
and recycling to stop pollution is like a good thing,
because pollution it's pretty bad and um, and that's also
really important, and recycling is also really important. And I
also saw but I found this on the news one time.
I don't remember where was I think with CNN that
and I forgot what year, maybe there will be more
(08:34):
plastic than fish in the ocean. So I feel like
what you're doing it's really good. It's really helping the
environment as well, So you're helping your community, the environment
and really helping everyone in need. Yeah, and the great news,
the great news is that you guys actually inspire as
to continue doing what we do. And this is just
an opportunity. Just thank you both of you, Sebastian and branded.
(08:58):
But a great work that you do because you means
a lot of us out chairs in Africa over here
you find a lot of doing what you guys are
doing or doing what we do. So you're actually expiring
most of us, inspiring billions of people more than you know.
And thank you so much, and I'm glad on it
to be it. You're saying how we're inspiring everyone, and
(09:21):
you're also inspiring everyone, but I feel like you're also
inspiring us to do some good as well, because what
you're saying it's really impactful to your community and just
you really inspire us today. Yes, thank you. And I
have another question, so you know, UH is trying to
raise money your hardest challenge or is there any other
(09:43):
hard challenges that calm in your way. Yeah, raising money
is hardest, telling the biggest problems that we have. But
we've made up our minds that it's not the money
that we need to make a difference. Whiff or without money,
we're going to make a difference, and we're the smallest
(10:04):
that we get. Your basically difference, it's not all about
doing something big. It's just about doing something that you
love or making a difference in someone's life. So money
is our biggest challenge, but money is not our main
focused I mean because making it difference. So whether we
get money or we do we're still making a difference.
(10:26):
So raising money is your hardest challenge, but still you
find a way to raise it. So how do you
How do your parents and your friends feel that you
have enough courage to go out and charge you some
good in the world. Yeah, our parents are proud of us.
Our parents are very proud of us that we are
actually tapping up to do the things that I must
(10:47):
say they're supposed to do. But there comes outside our family.
Just think like our friends and other early people that
sometimes discouraged by some people because they believe you can't
make a difference. And I remember once a friend contacted
me and he was like, you know you can change
as a right then I'm like, you know about changing,
(11:10):
it's about just changing one person. This about just making
a difference. So uh, our aims not to change everybody,
just to make it difference in people like so, our
parents are supportive, Our parents are very proud of us.
I'm our friends, some of them are proud of us,
but not everybody. And get you want to go outside
(11:32):
the society, out of our homes. You get people, um
it's carrying and telling me that you can't do it
to you know, focusing the things and become as something
able to become fully. But you know, he's so normal.
So I feel like we're basically going through the same
thing because our parents, you know, are always like supporting us.
(11:53):
But sometimes our friends, you know, they all support us
with some of them are like, he can't do it,
it's impossible, you're so young. We still find a way
to find like find a way to overcome it and
pass through our obstacle. So yeah, we really did do
something that really helped to the community, and we really
went over the obstacles. So you know how you started
(12:14):
Voices on the Mount and to help um inspire young kids.
And did anyone inspire you to start this um start
Voices on the Mount? Yes, yes, yes, I'm the first
person that inspired me was the COVID Jackson UM from Google.
(12:38):
He he donates lesson backs to homeless people. I've got
to find out that she was just a years old
and she was, you know, maazing all over the US,
all over the country. Then I still to a group
of tremor and you were like, it's an eight year
old Deenion, Then what comes you do? Because yeah, for
(13:01):
the four years older than him, and he is doing
such great things, So what can't you do all sorts
young people? So Jacko actually inspire me very much. Then
through him, I got to learned from different people like
Chloe Frothing like, um, you guys, and a whole lot
(13:23):
of other young people. Do you know what's crazy? Now
we're calling from America to Africa. It's like all the
way around the world, and our mission here isn't try
to inspire everyone around the world, So like, just think
about it's really crazy how we're calling from like one
end to the other. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, seriously, he
(13:45):
was Mom always says that um, kindness never dies. It
travels to the farthest point in life that we cannot see.
She tells me all the time that it's contagious, kind
of contagious. The moment do with it travels and travels
and travels. It keeps traveling. So sometimes we may not
(14:05):
We may think nobody's watching. We think no one see
because you're not seeing the wards, you know, receiving pride
and all the stuff. But we have changed in life,
and you know what they say, Kindness is always free.
It's no excuse not to be kind. You should just
be kind to everywhere. Yeah, yeah, true. Now would you
(14:26):
like anyone our lessens you know, to know anything else
about you? Um m m, I don't know. There's nothing
much to you know, But I have this sent for
every young person, especially you're great and awesome arguments that
we can achieve anything. We can be anocent. Our ideas
(14:51):
shouldn't limit us. Our age shouldn't limit us. Our ideas
maybe small, but we should know that um um, it's
a master. It's a smaller itis. It can go to
a huge plant, you know, I must see the smallertis
can go to a huge plants, then why can't our
ideas go? And it depends on the time that we planted.
(15:12):
That is the time that So to every young person
out there, believe you can make a different and the
idea that it's got. It may be small, but it's
going to go into something and plant it. Now. Yeah,
that's right. And you know that you're like, you're in
Ghana and we don't know that much about it. So
(15:35):
what do you like to do, and especially what do
you like to eat? And what sports you do? You play?
Any sports as well? Okay okay um our change Ghana
our languae. We have forty about forty nine different languages.
I have yes, yes, we are happy to speed a
(16:00):
cheat language my language has called cheat. Yeah. And the food,
the most popular food here is fu food um, fu
food granute super. I don't know if you know anything
about it, but we all learning fu granut soup um. Normally,
every kid in Ghanna, every boy in Ghanna likes playing football.
(16:22):
It's one of the most important and one of the
fun games out and every girl plays the traditional guanny
and being it's a game of luck. You know, I'm
not sure you know about it. So you see how
you language was cheat right, yeah, I think you. So
how did you learn English? Um? Okay um? I learned
(16:47):
English from the house my parents, then for school and
that's how about language. I don't know. It was a
thing about when I when I was growing up, I
found out I was speaking English. I don't know how
I got to speaking, but I thinking from my house
because we speaking English here. Then we also didn't want
to lose our court up to lengthy fancy. So over
(17:09):
in our education system we have English as a subject,
then she as a subject as well, so renaming both
of them in school and in the house. And it's
very important to never lose your culture. And it's also
very important to speak different languages because if someone speaks
a different language and you know what, you could talk
to them. And we don't speak cheese, so can you
(17:31):
tell us some words? And ch okay, So in cheese,
I will start with the basics. Maybe we say how
are you? As to say how are you? In chi
is to say to say to say yeah, then I
(17:52):
will reply as a year, which means I'm fine. So
it's simple as to say yeah, how are you? Line
had to say yeah. So we're really making a sentence
here we're having a conversation. Yeah, yeah, just as you
say ay or sometimes people would normally say yama yam.
(18:18):
It's by God's grace. Christianity and religion is important in
this country and in Africa, so not how many people
that saying you would hear nami, which means by God's
grace some frien or a simple So I have another question.
(18:40):
Kids are awesome and chi because kids are awesome. Yeah,

I born? Octo? Not the day Monday too? M I
(19:26):

the calendar real quick, okay over here over here. It's
that can be very important to know that the day
that you were born, it's very important to a full

born connects with the name that you have to get.
I was born on Monday, So I'm cool. Could you? Oh?

on the mount So how did you start? Like what
does Voices on the mount mean to you? Okay, so
(00:44):
Voice in the Mountains, Um, it's a great question actually, um,
Voices on the Mountains umization that I created to empire
young people, especially in Africa, that we can make a difference.
You know if young people like you guys Brandon with Sebastian,
now you're working as young entreperents and what can we
(01:07):
do as well. But that is the main aim of
Voice and amount to empower young people that we can
do this, you can make a difference than others are doing.
Then why can't be That's just one thing that you know,
pushed me to create Voices in the amount to have
a group of young people come together to make a
difference and empower the people. That is amazing. And we
(01:30):
also have another question, what does Voices on the Mount
mean to you? Because you get to do such amazing things.
But we want to know how it makes you feel
to know that you're doing such great things for the
young people in our community. Yeah, okay, Voices in the
Amounts makes me feel this way that my age doesn't
limit to me to anything. My age doesn't limit me
(01:52):
in anything that I can't do. My age doesn't measure
my greatness. My great necessarily based on you know, my ideas.
My greatness is big on what I am able to do.
Not my age show me working as a young person.
Maybe a difference in my community comparing as your people
(02:12):
makes me steel that ages just and lumber wakes me steel.
That I'm young, but that doesn't stop me from achieving
great things. That doesn't stop me from being whoever I
want to do. So, as we know you are calling
from Ghana, so um Western Africa, and we just want
to know, wasn't like over there because we have no
(02:32):
idea what's like there? Um yeah, Um, Africa your listeners, no, um,
let's shout out to all the listeners here. Um. Africa
is a developing continents. Um. You know, I would not
say we are poor. It's not a poor continues. We
have a lot of resources, but it's a developing continent
(02:54):
and it has to most of the times depend on
developed countries like the US, kind of the in China
to two for some as that leads, and we actually
wish to develop with been planning. We've been working hard
to to change our story to move from a developing
continents to developed continents. Terms. We're filling to um, you know,
(03:19):
put their youth in in that set when you come
over here in Africa, youth have a very small portion,
for a very small part to play when it comes
to development. And that is really affectiveness. So over here,
unlike in the America and the UK and all the
other continents of Europe and all those other continents, young
(03:43):
people do not really have a voice. Young people are
not really empowered. Young people are not really making a change,
and that is you know, asserting our developments in a way.
So over here is different from the story in other
continents and other countries, young people or do not have
a pact play that the story is being turned around.
(04:04):
Well that is that is very important, and especially that
you're doing it at such a young age and you're
fifteen correct, yes, yes, so so you're fifteen. So when
did you start Voices on the Mount? Okay um one
is from the month? Did you start? So long ago?
(04:25):
It started about a year ago. It started as a
child protection UMU organization or a group where just a
group of classmates trying to create awareness on trafficking or
child trafficking. Then gradually it developed into do into a
(04:47):
use of paramapanization. So it started maybe when I was
sporting last year. Yeah, for sure because of Voices on
the Mount. I have a question, what is the most
memorable thing you've done for the community, Like you help
other people? That was the most important thing to you?
The most importance thing that Poises and Amount has done
(05:11):
or that I have done um was to you know,
provide um eight for an often aging our community. And
what's funny about it is it was recent during the
given Tuesday was yesterday, we traveled all the way into
a town that is deep in a first and if
(05:33):
you believe it, that's where their children, so where often
it is located. And the generals beautiful. The experience was
nice because the road was unconstructed. It was so bad,
was dusty. We sometimes had to get down and walk
for about twenty minutes then you pick a car. It
was such an amazing experience and just getting there alone.
(05:56):
Give us that, Matt Joy, that's just one memorable thing
that you know. I can see that you've done. It's
recent to us. On Tuesday yesterday you traveled a long
way into the forest just a children, so investors to
keep it. That is amazing. We really need more people
in the world like you who are really inspiring others
(06:18):
and helping others at the same time their community. And
the thing you did yesterday was also amazing. And would
you like to do do anything well, yes, speaking of like
you have to help kids, like raise money and raise
awareness and how many people are in your group to
help um donate stuff and make you know, it's a
(06:39):
good really like cool thing that I that I saw
you really recycle stuff and make it into everyday things,
which is just phenomenal. Yeah, we're just a group of
ten members. Your ten and we over here. It's actually
(07:00):
very difficult to read funds. Um. There's no online platforms
like go fund me helps funds, and getting funds to
people there is actually very very difficult. So we'll be
a group of ten people actually presume that we cannot
be can re being children in the first place, as
(07:22):
people discouraged us that we cannot get the money. But
we have this great idea that our country is polluted
the plastic and we are rated as one of the
top countries that have assumed too much plastic in the environment.
So we decided to come up an idea and make
(07:43):
a difference in that aspect of our country. We started
collecting plastic bushels, then we recycled them pential cases and containers.
Then we sell them at the end of the day,
recycling to reduce plastic pollution, reading funds for projects. Then
were also developing our skills and many news things. Yeah,
(08:10):
and recycling to stop pollution is like a good thing,
because pollution it's pretty bad and um, and that's also
really important, and recycling is also really important. And I
also saw but I found this on the news one time.
I don't remember where was I think with CNN that
and I forgot what year, maybe there will be more
(08:34):
plastic than fish in the ocean. So I feel like
what you're doing it's really good. It's really helping the
environment as well, So you're helping your community, the environment
and really helping everyone in need. Yeah, and the great news,
the great news is that you guys actually inspire as
to continue doing what we do. And this is just
an opportunity. Just thank you both of you, Sebastian and branded.
(08:58):
But a great work that you do because you means
a lot of us out chairs in Africa over here
you find a lot of doing what you guys are
doing or doing what we do. So you're actually expiring
most of us, inspiring billions of people more than you know.
And thank you so much, and I'm glad on it
to be it. You're saying how we're inspiring everyone, and
(09:21):
you're also inspiring everyone, but I feel like you're also
inspiring us to do some good as well, because what
you're saying it's really impactful to your community and just
you really inspire us today. Yes, thank you. And I
have another question, so you know, UH is trying to
raise money your hardest challenge or is there any other
(09:43):
hard challenges that calm in your way. Yeah, raising money
is hardest, telling the biggest problems that we have. But
we've made up our minds that it's not the money
that we need to make a difference. Whiff or without money,
we're going to make a difference, and we're the smallest
(10:04):
that we get. Your basically difference, it's not all about
doing something big. It's just about doing something that you
love or making a difference in someone's life. So money
is our biggest challenge, but money is not our main
focused I mean because making it difference. So whether we
get money or we do we're still making a difference.
(10:26):
So raising money is your hardest challenge, but still you
find a way to raise it. So how do you
How do your parents and your friends feel that you
have enough courage to go out and charge you some
good in the world. Yeah, our parents are proud of us.
Our parents are very proud of us that we are
actually tapping up to do the things that I must
(10:47):
say they're supposed to do. But there comes outside our family.
Just think like our friends and other early people that
sometimes discouraged by some people because they believe you can't
make a difference. And I remember once a friend contacted
me and he was like, you know you can change
as a right then I'm like, you know about changing,
(11:10):
it's about just changing one person. This about just making
a difference. So uh, our aims not to change everybody,
just to make it difference in people like so, our
parents are supportive, Our parents are very proud of us.
I'm our friends, some of them are proud of us,
but not everybody. And get you want to go outside
(11:32):
the society, out of our homes. You get people, um
it's carrying and telling me that you can't do it
to you know, focusing the things and become as something
able to become fully. But you know, he's so normal.
So I feel like we're basically going through the same
thing because our parents, you know, are always like supporting us.
(11:53):
But sometimes our friends, you know, they all support us
with some of them are like, he can't do it,
it's impossible, you're so young. We still find a way
to find like find a way to overcome it and
pass through our obstacle. So yeah, we really did do
something that really helped to the community, and we really
went over the obstacles. So you know how you started
(12:14):
Voices on the Mount and to help um inspire young kids.
And did anyone inspire you to start this um start
Voices on the Mount? Yes, yes, yes, I'm the first
person that inspired me was the COVID Jackson UM from Google.
(12:38):
He he donates lesson backs to homeless people. I've got
to find out that she was just a years old
and she was, you know, maazing all over the US,
all over the country. Then I still to a group
of tremor and you were like, it's an eight year
old Deenion, Then what comes you do? Because yeah, for
(13:01):
the four years older than him, and he is doing
such great things, So what can't you do all sorts
young people? So Jacko actually inspire me very much. Then
through him, I got to learned from different people like
Chloe Frothing like, um, you guys, and a whole lot
(13:23):
of other young people. Do you know what's crazy? Now
we're calling from America to Africa. It's like all the
way around the world, and our mission here isn't try
to inspire everyone around the world, So like, just think
about it's really crazy how we're calling from like one
end to the other. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, seriously, he
(13:45):
was Mom always says that um, kindness never dies. It
travels to the farthest point in life that we cannot see.
She tells me all the time that it's contagious, kind
of contagious. The moment do with it travels and travels
and travels. It keeps traveling. So sometimes we may not
(14:05):
We may think nobody's watching. We think no one see
because you're not seeing the wards, you know, receiving pride
and all the stuff. But we have changed in life,
and you know what they say, Kindness is always free.
It's no excuse not to be kind. You should just
be kind to everywhere. Yeah, yeah, true. Now would you
(14:26):
like anyone our lessens you know, to know anything else
about you? Um m m, I don't know. There's nothing
much to you know, But I have this sent for
every young person, especially you're great and awesome arguments that
we can achieve anything. We can be anocent. Our ideas
(14:51):
shouldn't limit us. Our age shouldn't limit us. Our ideas
maybe small, but we should know that um um, it's
a master. It's a smaller itis. It can go to
a huge plant, you know, I must see the smallertis
can go to a huge plants, then why can't our
ideas go? And it depends on the time that we planted.
(15:12):
That is the time that So to every young person
out there, believe you can make a different and the
idea that it's got. It may be small, but it's
going to go into something and plant it. Now. Yeah,
that's right. And you know that you're like, you're in
Ghana and we don't know that much about it. So
(15:35):
what do you like to do, and especially what do
you like to eat? And what sports you do? You play?

fun games out and every girl plays the traditional guanny

not sure you know about it. So you see how
you language was cheat right, yeah, I think you. So
how did you learn English? Um? Okay um? I learned
(16:47):
English from the house my parents, then for school and
that's how about language. I don't know. It was a
thing about when I when I was growing up, I
found out I was speaking English. I don't know how
I got to speaking, but I thinking from my house
because we speaking English here. Then we also didn't want
to lose our court up to lengthy fancy. So over
(17:09):
in our education system we have English as a subject,
then she as a subject as well, so renaming both
of them in school and in the house. And it's
very important to never lose your culture. And it's also
very important to speak different languages because if someone speaks
a different language and you know what, you could talk
to them. And we don't speak cheese, so can you
(17:31):

I will start with the basics. Maybe we say how

say ay or sometimes people would normally say yama yam.
