A group of children of the University of Ghana Airways Residence, Kissieman, have birthed a journal named Airways Buzz News Letter. The idea which was conceived during the heat of the Covid-19 lockdown period when schools were closed down and children were forced to remain at home, was brought to fruition on 31st August, 2020.
During the launch of the four-page newsletter, the President of the Airways Residents Association, Dr. Sarah Dorgbadzi in a short address, lauded the children for the initiative. She also commended parents and children in the neighbourhood for supporting the idea by supplying the needed information for the newsletter.

The Deputy Head (JHS), University of Ghana Basic School, Mrs. Christina Armah who is also a resident of the Airways Residence, launched the newsletter. In brief remarks, Mrs. Armah recounted how she observed the children hustling and bustling around seeking information, sitting behind their computers, setting and finally publishing the newsletter. She disclosed that the newsletter was easy to read, entertaining, informative and educative.
