KOICA WeKO 6th: Ghana Global Supporter Self Introduction.

Having been interested in various aspects of Korean Culture for over a decade, I am delighted to have been selected as part of the WeKO 6th Generation. I am also grateful for this opportunity which will enable me to learn more about KOICA and Korea as a whole.

Let me quickly introduce myself. My name is Acquah Dorcas Esi Koguah and I am a Ghanaian. 

So first of all, you can call me any of my names, Adek, Starlyt or Esi K. Which can stand for my original name Esi Koguah or Esi Korea.😉

In terms of my educational background, I hold a B.A. Communication Studies (Public Relations Major) and a diploma in Communication Studies from the Ghana Institute of Journalism now the University of Media, Arts and  Communication – Institute of Journalism and a Certificate in Digital Marketing. 

I have an interest in self-studying, languages and culture.

My hobbies include but are not limited to playing the flute, the guitar (which I self-studied), Korean, and singing (which I butcher the songs by the way but I love it).

I was the 2021 1st Runner-up and 2nd Runner-up respectively of the K-pop Word Festival organised by the Embassy of Korea to Ghana. I was also an Honorary Reporter and K-Influencer for the years 2022 & 2023 for http://korea.net

I have a certificate of Korean Language 3A-4B from Metaverse Online – https://www.ksif.or.kr/

I am also an intermediate Korean speaker currently in Advanced Class at Online Sejong Hakdang.

GOAL AS PART OF WEKO 6th

My Goal is to create content that highlights WeKO’s initiatives and success stories, fostering a positive online presence, and creating awareness of all causes of WeKO and KOICA. I also want to gain more experience through this programme
