Mr Martin Ofori, Chairman of US-ACC Ghana


By emphasizing a message of peace through God's Royal Law, Golden Rule Dialogue Expert, Dr. Clyde Rivers played a key role in the establishing of the first United States-Africa Chamber of Commerce in Ghana.

On December 6, 2016 in Accra, Ghana, the United States -Africa Chamber of Commerce (US-ACC) opened its first office, with the ethic of the Golden Rule established within the Ghanaian business community.

One of the primary goals of US-ACC is to help strengthen trade relations between small and medium scale business enterprises in Ghana and the United States. This can be accomplished by empowering them with the resources, connections and exposure needed to form international partnerships within peaceful national environments.

The US-ACC, in collaboration with iChange Nations (ICN), launched the office on the theme: “Engendering Growth and Development through Peace and Cooperation”.

The Golden Rule of Business being used by US-ACC says, “Treat others the way you want to be treated”.

World Peace Ambassador, Dr Clyde Rivers, was in Ghana promoting the message of the Golden Rule as part of a campaign that Ghana would have a peaceful election, which would open doors for businesses.

He said Africa had the resources that the world needs, but the world was concerned about peace because where there is no peace, there is no development.

Dr Rivers said, “We are going to bring the golden rule into the system, to teach people how to treat others the way they want to be treated, which would bring an environment of peace that will promote business, development and empower Ghanaians to thrive and create their own economy”.

Dr. Clyde Rivers, is the Founder and President of iChange Nations™ as well as the global Golden Rule Dialogue Expert. Dr. Rivers travels around the world promoting Golden Rule Dialogue in the developmental process of finding peace through dialogue. The Golden Rule Dialogue is simply, “Treat others the way you want to be treated in your dialogue.” Dr. Rivers' motto is, “Listening for Change.” He believes every life is valuable and created for a contribution to our world and that without peace, that contribution is lost and our entire world loses.

"As I travel around the world, I see various nations or communities in conflicts due to racism, tribalism, sexism, classism and many types of divisions." states Dr. Rivers. "All of it is rooted in one single law that is being violated. They are violating the Royal Law, the Golden Rule."

As Dr. Rivers is called in to sometimes mediate or expedite peaceful solutions rather it's a small community or an entire nation, he finds that he is able to bring the keys to peaceful resolution through Golden Rule Dialogue and the promotion of the Royal Law.

iChange Nations™ is also a professional institution that builds Statesmen by equipping, mentoring and training highly esteemed individuals who have the desire to change nations throughout the world. The organization is seeking to bring global awareness by strategically helping nations to educate, train and support a Nation Building Process that is designed to improve the dignity and betterment of human life. This international platform focuses on establishing effective relationships; to help people understand the value of honor and basic human rights.

iChange Nations™ is the World’s Largest Honoring Network Establishing Cultures of Honor around the world. ICN has established a system that is bringing back honor to the world. They look to honor people at global, national, state and community levels, that have made positive contributions in helping mankind. It is no wonder that Golden Rule Dialogue and honoring others are going hand-in-hand to change the world.

GOLDEN RULE DIALOGUE LEADS TO PEACEFUL ELECTIONS IN GHANA

World Peace Ambassador, Dr. Clyde Rivers and
Prof. Emmanuel Asante 


Ghana has a new president-elect in the person Nana Akuffo Addo of the New Patriotic Party, and just as important as the election results was the peaceful response from all parties and citizens of the nation. Directly connected to this peaceful response was the message of peace and the Golden Rule that Ambassador Dr. Clyde Rivers was able to bring just days prior Ghana's national election.

Dr Rivers said, “We were able to bring the golden rule into the election, and teach people that they must treat others the way they want to be treated, which will bring an environment of peace that will promote business, development and empower Ghanaians to thrive and create their own economy.”

Dr. Clyde Rivers was in Ghana just days before their national election, where he met with the National Peace Council of the Republic of Ghana, Prof. Emmanuel K. Asante. Together they established the Accra Declaration, which is a commitment to a peaceful election, signed by all parties. Among their talks they discussed establishing the Golden Rule as a Youth Peace Program to help build systems of peace in the Republic of Ghana.

Dr. Rivers said, “It was such a privilege to sit with Prof. Emmanuel Asante and discuss plans to help establish peace and development in his country. We talked about how to involve the strength of the next generations of Ghanaians through a Golden Rule education model based on peace. We look forward to further interactions with the leadership of the Republic of Ghana as we return and promote Golden Rule Peace and Development.”

Dr. Rivers also spoke to the nation of Ghana through their CLASS RADIO station, which has a listening audience of 1.5 million. He was interviewed by popular radio host, Prince, and was able to talk about Golden Rule Dialogue, calling upon all citizens to value honor, peace and every human life, in anticipation of the country's elections.

THE ROYAL LAW KEY TO WORLD PEACE

The Leading Voice of Golden Rule Dialogue, Dr. Clyde Rivers


If you really fulfill the Royal Law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well ---- James 2:8

As the leading voice in Golden Rule Dialogue, Dr. Clyde Rivers is bringing the Royal Law to the world. Dr. Rivers explains, "While many view the Golden Rule from a religious perspective, it is actually revealed as a Royal Law in scripture. It is a law based on governance, not religion."

The leader of the Global Golden Rule Movement is building a Royal Law platform that is based upon the sovereign King perspective of God, which can be seen in the Bible where it declares in Psalm 24:1, "The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein."

Dr. Rivers insists that this bible passage clearly shows that God is King, Lord and Ruler over the earth, the whole world, which includes all that dwell therein. God is King and He established a Royal Law by which mankind would be governed.

No matter what one believes about God, or even if there is no belief in any divine entity, most people will agree on the Royal Law. It's not a religious law and it carries more weight than a cultural code.

"It is amazing that all of the major religions of the world agree on this one ethic: Treat others the way you want to be treated. Love your neighbor as yourself,"  concludes Dr. Rivers, "As I travel around the world and see various nations or communities in conflicts due to racism, tribalism, sexism, and many types of divisions, I see all of it rooted in one single law that is being violated: They are violating the Royal Law, the Golden Rule."

As Dr. Rivers is called into communities or nations to mediate or expedite peaceful solutions, he finds that he is able to bring the keys to peace and development through Golden Rule Dialogue and the promotion of the Royal Law.

ALLEVIATING POVERTY IN AFRICA

Hope 631

This article was written by Dr. Grace Kinuthia. Dr. Grace is the President of Hope 631, an initiative set in motion to help the children living in the Nakuru slums of Nairobi Kenya. This articles tells us about some of the focus of Hope 631. Dr. Grace is also involved in the leadership of IChange Nations™ First Lady’s Club. Setting forth to honor and promote First Ladies around the world. Helping them leave a legacy of hope and advancement for the people of their countries. Dr. Grace resides in Houston, Texas. She holds an Honorary Doctorate Degree in Humanities through United Graduate College and Seminary International; having been awarded this honor because of her heart and care for humanity around the world. Dr. Grace resides in Houston, Texas with her husband Dr. Charles Kinuthia. Drs. Charles and Grace Kinuthia are Golden Rule Intl. World Peace Ambassadors through IChange Nations™.
----------------------------



Hope 631 a Global nonprofit starts a new initiative of building primary schools at the dumpsite in Nakuru Kenya. The African slums have been neglected for many years. The poor are abandoned and left to fate and the dumpsite has become a home for many. Though a violation of human rights, local governments have done little to nothing in helping these families change their way of life.

         
                                            

The Africa region has experienced an impressive increase in the number of students enrolled in primary school. Between 1990 and 2012, the number of children enrolled in primary schools more than doubled, from 62 million to 149 million children. In sub-Saharan Africa, 15 countries have abolished school fees since 2000, enabling more children to attend primary school. Despite tremendous gains in primary school enrollment, no African country has achieved universal primary education. For a country to achieve universal primary education, all children must have completed a full course of primary schooling. Globally, 58 million children of primary school age were out of school in 2012. Of that number, 38 million children were in Africa. About half of all out-of-school African children will never step foot in a school in their lifetime. Source: UNESCO, United Nations. 

In a recent interview, Vice president Dr. Charles Kinuthia stated that the current education system provides neither the financial literacy students will need to manage the meager resources under their control, nor the guidance needed to create opportunities for securing a livelihood or building wealth. In addition, schooling provides little assistance to promote the physical health needed for economic stability and quality of life. Life expectancy is low in impoverished regions, and not just because of lack of quality medical care. The devastation of preventable disease wreaks havoc on the well-being and financial stability in poor regions; which can be dramatically mitigated through instruction on basic health behaviors, such as hand washing.

Primary education lays the foundation for the success or failure of future learning. Hope 631 President, Dr. Grace Kinuthia, in collaboration with IChange Nation™ President Dr. Clyde Rivers hope to change the current trend which is epidemic and are calling on other world leaders to support the new education initiatives around the world that will make the world a better place.
