Join Us for the Commissioning!

For those of you in the vicinity, you are welcome to join us in commissioning the school in Agbenoxoe on May 17. See flyer. If you aren't yet familiar with all the Volta Region has to offer, this is the perfect opportunity to make your way up there for the weekend!

It takes just under 3 hours to get there (taking into account any traffic out of Accra and off the Tema Roundabout). So it can be done in a day (granted one must leave by 7am...) or you can spend the Friday night on the way up either in the Akosombo area or beyond.

Directions are relatively simple:
- Take the Akosombo road NORTH from the Tema Roundabout
- Go over the bridge at Atimpoku
- After Juapong and just after a police barrier take a LEFT at the sign for Hohoe
- After 30 minutes at Have Etoe take a LEFT at the sign for Kpando
- Follow this road directly through Kpando (about 30 minutes), passed Fesi and onto Agbenoxoe (8 kms north of Kpando).

(Click on map for details of route - after opening, right click and save bitmap onto desktop, and again save as/convert into pdf if you would like to print it in its entirety. CONVERSELY, and easier, ask us and we can send you a copy!)

The $6000 Mark Reached!

We are very excited to say we have reached our first milestone: $6000!! That is enough to finish the school in its entirety as well as have uniforms made for every child in the kindergarten. They have: built the gables, erected the roof, and screeded and plastered inside and out. They are now presently making doors and shutters and once finished with that will build some steps and paint. And presto, new kindergarten school! If we get some more donations trickling in we hope to help them build desks and chairs so that all children can have one each. That's our SECOND MILESTONE. But we can breathe a little easier knowing that the big element is almost done. And again, we have YOU ALL to thank. This has truly been a wonderful experience for us, and we hope we have been able to impart a little of that through the photos and videos. And its not over yet - they will be officially commissioning the school mid-May, and so we will have more to report on then.
