2026 Annual HCJUNCTION
"An Ode to our Mother LanguageS"
Competition
In Celebration of UNESCO's International Mother Language Day on 21 February,
the HCJUNCTION hosted a global competition where participants were instructed to write an original poem or short story in their mother language or about mother languages.
We are grateful to everyone who participated and spread the word about our competition.
We are proud to announce this year’s winner and winning submission is:
Love Unfold by Mary Abankwah
submitted in English and Twi
(read Mary’s poem below)
We asked Mary why mother languages are important and she shared with us the following:
My mother language is very important to me. It represents my identity, my culture, my belief and my history.
It is an identity that singles me out among others and can say a lot about me just by my expression and intonation when I speak.
Love Unfold
by Mary Abankwah
Affection, at times,
May stray and roam.
Yet genuine warmth,
Finds a lasting home.
When given truly;
From the heart's deep care.
It lingers on,
Remembered evermore.
It first was given to man,
A bond divine.
Connecting God and Human,
A sacred sign.
But when God withdrew,
A void remains.
Yet though a divine man,
The link was regained.
Mortal and immortal;
In harmony intertwine.
Love is vast,
Yet can be replaced by hate,
When dwelling on the pain;
Caused by those
Close and Sweet.
