Enough Is Enough: Jelvis Foundation Reclaims Community Events for the People of Effia

For many years, the people of Effia have looked forward to the annual Community Soccer Gala and Fancy (Ankos) festivities—activities that bring neighbours together, spark joy, and strengthen unity across the community. However, these same events have too often been overshadowed by political influence, campaign messaging, and the attempt to use gatherings of ordinary people as tools for electoral gain.

The Jelvis Foundation, led by Mr. Jelvis Kwame Baidoo, has decided that this cycle must end.

According to Mr. Baidoo, the Foundation’s vision is simple yet powerful:
events in Effia should not be exploited for political advantage.

Over the years, major community activities have gradually been absorbed into campaign strategies, especially during election seasons. What should have been spaces for relaxation, entertainment, sportsmanship, and togetherness became stages for political rhetoric. This diluted the true purpose of these moments and left many community members feeling used rather than valued.

The Jelvis Foundation believes that Effia deserves better.
And this year marks a turning point.

To restore fairness, transparency, and genuine enjoyment, the Jelvis Foundation is now sponsoring the Community Soccer Gala and Fancy events completely free of charge.

This bold move ensures:

• The events remain for the people
• No individual or political group can hijack the activities
• Everyone, regardless of background or belief, can participate openly
• The focus returns to togetherness, entertainment, and community growth

By taking full responsibility for the organization and funding of these occasions, the Foundation is ensuring that no hidden agenda overshadows the significance of the day.

Mr. Jelvis Kwame Baidoo has stated firmly that the community must no longer allow its important gatherings to be controlled or redirected by political interests. The Foundation’s approach is based on fairness, neutrality, and respect for the people.

“Our goal is to build a community where events are not turned into campaign strategies. We are offering these activities free, ensuring they remain true gatherings for the people of Effia. Enough is Enough.”

These words reflect a deeper commitment: a desire to protect Effia from unnecessary division and keep community life grounded in unity and purpose.

Through this initiative, the Jelvis Foundation is setting a new standard—one that prioritizes integrity, service, and the well-being of the community. Rather than waiting for election seasons to bring temporary support, the Foundation is providing consistent, year-round development, including:

• The Free2Connect WiFi expansion
• Skills training for young people
• Support for local clubs and social groups
• Health screenings and educational outreach
• Partnerships that uplift the Effia community

The sponsorship of the Community Soccer Gala and Fancy events is another step in this long-term mission.

Effia is changing. With organizations like the Jelvis Foundation leading the way, the community is reclaiming its identity and shaping its own future—free from manipulation, free from political influence, and free to grow on its own terms.

The Foundation invites all residents to participate wholeheartedly in the upcoming programs, stand together in solidarity, and celebrate a new era where the people of Effia decide the direction of their own community life.

Enough is Enough. Effia deserves authenticity, fairness, and unity—and the Jelvis Foundation is proud to champion that cause.
