After a successful and productive trip to the project in Kumasi, Ghana, we’ve returned with lots of new things to tell about the project aims.

The town of Kumasi which has a popluation of 3 million people has NO playground equipment for the children. Not one playpark in the whole town! So with our help, our partner organisation Teensnet Foundation are going to provide a mobile playpark for the children to use. So, we’re on a mission to raise the money to provide the play equipment to be used. This is a wonderful and sustainable sub-project as it means local people will be employed to run the mobile play park. The money made by renting the equipment to schools for example, will pay the wages of the people running it and any profits will be put into savings for the main project there ‘The Centre of Hope’. For more information on the main project please have a look at the Ghana Project page. If you would like to donate to this part of the project you can donate through paypal on our Chipin on the right of this page.

Also, our original plan to replace the local primary school roof was looked at and due to the disrepair of the whole building, we have agreed to re-build the whole building, foundations, walls and all. The volunteers have been arranged and they’re on their way in January to do the work.

We’ve got a lot more news coming up about the Ghana project so keep checking back to see progress.
