On Sunday, the newly elected members of GAW (Ghana Association of Writers), pledged their support to the association. The newly elected President (Mr. Kwesi -Gyan Appenteng ) was bold to outline a number of policies concerning Internet usage and education in Ghana and promised to inject 'fresh enthusiasm' into the association because, according to him 'writing has come too far to be abandoned, babe'
