Share The World

Having decided to spend some time in Africa to help out hands-on, I fell in love with Ghana. Despite it being routinely touted as one of Africa's "success stories" because of its political stability and natural resources (previously even known as the Gold Coast), in words of Forbes magazine Ghana "shouldn't be poor, but it is". Only Afghanistan and even more desperate sub-Saharan countries rank lower in the Human Development Report.

But there ARE people that are creating positive change in rural communities. I've come across one such person that I believe has done wonders in a Ghana village called Sega. So I decided to see how I can be a part of his school's future. I'll be spending the next coupla months there helping out. Honestly? I want to live the school's motto:

“Share the World” stands for the international links it maintains with schools worldwide, the long term volunteer teachers who share their knowledge with the children and the notion that every child is invited to assume a constructive role in our world.

Since the humble establishment of the (New Era) Anmchara International School, in January 2002 (and since this video was made), the school has grown to include a nursery, primary, junior and senior secondary schools, as well as a kitchen and dining hall where over 1,000 students are taught and fed every day.

The Anmchara International School now consists of a permanent, 3 classroom nursery structure, a primary school for classes 1 to 6 and a Junior High School and SHS building for Form 2. By the time the current students graduate from the SHS, Mr. Agudey hopes to also have another Senior Secondary School building in place since Form 1 is currently housed in the dining hall.

For this reason, we'd like to raise the funds necessary for the additional classrooms' construction and the purchasing of furniture, textbooks, and supplies.

If you'd like to have a part in this and do some feelgooding:) of your own by helping me support this community, you can:

1) Donate money to the Bank Audi account I opened, for transferring collected funds to the school, IBAN: LB27 0056 0008 0583 1461 0020 1003


2) Donate money to the school founder directly:

3) Contact me for school sponsoring opportunities or any other idea you may like to propose.

4) Offer moral support by simply following the blog and leaving your comments which I will surely share with the kids :)
