The tour he explained will start in March and will run through  to 2012.<br \/>\n\u201cI am embarking on a Malaria [tour] somewhere in March  in conjunction with the Ministry of Health and National Health Insurance  to go to villages to educate and inform the people about malaria and  its preventive measures. That is going to be nationwide\u2026It is even going  to eat into next year,\u201d he disclosed.<br \/>\nObrafour in December 2010  started a nationwide tour, Obrafour Music Tour, with the theme:  Realising Your Potential Through Reading, to help inculcate the culture  of reading in Ghanaians.<br \/>\nThe tour which has so far been to some  towns in the Northern and Southern parts of Ghana was his way of giving  back to Ghanaians after about 11 years in the industry.<br \/>\n\u201c\u2026Ghanaians  have made me Obrafour, they love me and all that and for them putting  me here with the help of God, if I don\u2019t do anything and (you know) one  cannot be at the forefront of music throughout his entire life, so I  decided to payback to society by undertaking projects. This is the first  of its kind. There are a lot more lined up for me this year.\u201d<br \/>\nHis  last performance was in the Ashanti Region Kuamsi at the Baba Yara  sports stadium and Obuasi with the next stop being the Brong Ahafo  region. Artistes who joined Obrafour on the tour include Ayigbe Edem,  Guru and Castro.<br \/>\nObrafour hopes to raise GHS 200,000 from the  tour with all proceeds going to charity through Read For Wealth, an NGO  that advocates for reading in Ghana and provides reading materials to  deprived communities and people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hiplife musician, Michael Kwabena Okyere Darko popularly known as Obrafour has disclosed to Hitz Entertainment News that he is set to embark on a Malaria awareness tour this March.
