What a night! 🇨🇳🍚
Our friends at Rotary Club of Swindon have given us unwavering support since the very beginning, helping us change lives in Ghana for 14 years. Last night was no exception! Over 100 people came together for a Chinese Banquet, for brilliant food and atmosphere - and to raise vital funds to transform education in rural Nandom.
We are so grateful for the incredible kindness of this wonderful Rotary Club, standing with us to make the word a better place.
Amazing news!🎉
What an incredible night! Thank you so much to everyone involved in making it such a wonderful success and for the generous cheque which we are so thrilled with. Also thanks to Swindon Rendezvous Old Town for their sensational banquet! I can't stop thinking about that incredible satay sauce!
Congratulations🎉. Great
Last year we had 25000 visits to our Library and Tech Zones! Every day after school, our Lawra and Nandom Inclusion Centres are filled with children.
We love seeing so many children accessing our computers, beautiful books, games & puzzles - all with trained teachers and tech experts to support learning.
Curiosity is nurtured, confidence grows, skills develop - children are reading, researching, problem solving and coding!
This was our ambitious dream, and it is a joy to see it come true.
Such great impact!👍
We have 3 spaces in the Bath Half, and just 2 days left to fill them!
Is there anyone out there who would love a challenge? It's a flat and fast course through beautiful Bath. Free to enter, and by raising some sponsorship you'd change lives in Ghana. What's not to like?!
Please share, and get in touch if you'd like to do this!
