Boost The Learning and Education of Kids in Ghana

Hello Project supporters-

Have you ever head the proverb: "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy"?

This generally means that without time off from work, a person becomes both bored and boring. It is usually used to explain or justify the need for children to have adequate playtime.

When I was growing up, I loved to quote this as a justification for more playtime. While I was a good student, I also loved to play Table Tennis (also known as Ping Pong) and "video games". This included original arcade games back in the day like Pac Man, Donkey Kong, and Pole Position. Those games were pretty rudimentary compared to today's games.

In Ghana, we are ensuring that the kids have adequate recreation time. We hold bi-weekly club meetings where kids from 2-17 are able to read storybooks, learn and play games. The club meetings serve the dual purpose of play and learning.  This helps ensure that the kids grow up wholesome and balanced. 

The photos show the kids at the club and also playing on a bouncy castle. 

Your support is helping to ensure that the kids in Ghana grow up to be well-rounded and balanced children. We are helping to position them to become great leaders in the future.

Do you have any warm memories stories about your playtime as a kid?  We would love to hear them. Feel free to send us an email message at globalgiving@developafrica.org. 

With deep appreciation

Dear Project Supporters,

Your support for the Kissinger School in Ghana is greatly appreciated.  The students at the Kissinger School are very thankful for the school books that they received in addition to pens, pencils and exercise books.  

The Kissinger School staff expressed again how grateful they would be for additional and recurring support so that they can provide healthy meals, transportation, school supplies, and other needed school support to more of the students at the Kissinger School. 

Your continued support would be greatly appreciated and more kids will have access to education and therefore greater opportunities and be better positioned to contribute to the community and national development.   We encourage you to consider starting a monthly recurring donation here to help the Kissinger School have the funds needed to continue their school programs and to help more students.  Even a few dollars a month will go a long way.  Please also share this with your contacts and invite them to consider supporting this ongoing project. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at GlobalGiving@developafrica.org.

With great appreciation,

Amy &The Develop Africa Team
