Welcome!

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, followed up with a radio discussion and a TV discussion
about Dash. See pictures and videos: https://goo.gl/8tuHWe. I am also the Trusted Community Champion (TC-Champ) for DashDirect, a highly secure peer-to-peer network with 100% transparency and direct donations to people in need instantly using the Dash Blockchain; https://donate.greencandle.io/DashDirect/. I double as the founding president of Centre for Liberty and Entrepreneurship, (CLE-Ghana) www.cleghana.orga Free markets & Liberty Think Tank which has featured Dash in its major
programs and has officially included Dash on its website as a sponsoring
partner. The organization has got chapters such as the Teachers for Libertyand Economic freedom. This proposal is targeting these teachers and their students. For more information about me in Dash, see https://dash-africa.com/ghana/ .

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 GHC800.00 ($200.00) every month and a pension gratuity of
less than GHC20, 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 to use Dash to start businesses after high school whilst promoting it. Financing
Start-Ups is a headache in Africa and many good ideas never see the light hence
high dependence on government for jobs after school owing to the alarming rate of graduate unemployment in Ghana. We
will train 400 Ghanaian teachers (80 per location) from five (5) selected
District/Municipal/Metropolitan in the next 5 weeks on how to invest in
cryptocurrencies with emphasis on DASH to accumulate wealth (as a pension
gratuity to some extend) and to be teaching money management and business skills to students with real hands-on projects that actually use dash
from day one.

DESCRIPTION:
The training/Workshops will be held in five locations within selected
districts/municipal/metropolitan. Eighty (80) participants (Teachers) are
expected to attend the training/workshop at each selected location (Yendi
Municipality, Savelugu municipal, Kumbungu District, Tamale Metropolitan and
Walewale District).

Below are outputs and outcomes of this training/workshops:

OUTPUT 1

Action Plan:All participants would be trained on how to set up Dash and promote it among teachers, students, parents and the
community they live. In addition, Ten Participants (teachers) from each
district/municipal/metropolitan who were active and exhibited excellent
understanding of the blockchain technology and Dash would be selected to serve
as local coordinators in their district/municipal/metropolitan. Below is the
planned activity for them:-

Team 1: Five teachers from each district who have bought at least 3 Dash will be trained to promote Dash and convince teachers to purchase at least 2
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 who bought at least 2 Dash will be trained to set up Dash Entrepreneurs Club in schools so that Dash could be
promoted among students and equipping them with money management tools and
business skills. 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 schools.

Team 3: Two teachers from each district/municipal/metropolitan who have bought at least 2 Dash will 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. They will
convince parents to send money to their wards in the form of Dash and convince
school authorities to accept Dash. Parents would also be encouraged to purchase
and hold Dash for a long period. They will collaborate with the other 30
teachers from their district and local coordinators.

Team 4: Five teachers from each district who bought 1 Dash and below will push for merchant adoption of Dash.
They will be trained to help those who want to purchase Dash. Their additional duties
are to convince teachers associations in Ghana to buy and hold Dash for long
period instead of Treasury bill.

JUSTIFICATION:a.     
a.     Each of the four teams will submit monthly reports of their duties to CLE and the best teams awarded every six months with citations and referencing from CLE.
b.     Team members are self-motivated and selected by merit.
c.      Each team of the four teams will present and execute action plan for their respective duties in their districts.
d.     Students of the Dash Entrepreneurship Clubs will present business plans to CLE for mentor-ship and

The rationale behind the training/workshops is to use DASH to help these
teachers and young people (students) to start businesses and earn a living
whilst giving back to DASH by promoting and investing in it. It, therefore,
becomes a win-win situation.
