Ghana Assistance Project- August 2008
We have completed the funding required for the Access Northern Ghana Computer School! As soon as all the supplies are in place and working, the school will open its doors in the city of Tamale. The purpose of the school is to bring computer literacy in a part of Tamale where it has not been available. There will be after-school classes for youngsters, and daytime and evening classes to help adults attain skills that they need to get good jobs in this new century. We are looking forward to receiving pictures of the first students at the school.
Our next project will take us back to the village of Larabanga, where the desks that we supplied have been in constant use. We have received a request to fund the completion of a permanent structure to house the school. In addition, we have been asked to help supply uniforms for the students who are too poor to provide their own, and to pay the teachers for a year’s work, during which they have received no pay. The total for all this is estimated to be under $4,700. A copy of the proposal, with a detailed breakdown, can be found in the “Larabanga” binder that is on the table at the back of our Sunday Forum room.
If you would like to donate to this project, please send a check payable to the Humanist Community, and indicate that it is for the Ghana Assistance Project. All funds donated for this purpose go directly to the Project.
