Story
Since childhood I have always been determent to travel and help less privileged children in Africa and of course all over the world when I have the means to do so.
I started travelling in 2013 and have since been visiting Ghana every year to help out as much as possible. I have been mainly focused on Offinso Children’s Home in Kumasi (Ghana, West Africa) where I have been trying to help as much as I can with the money I am able to save from work. My next visit to Ghana will be on March 2017 and I have set myself another project for the orphanage. I have bigger and greater plans for this orphanage but of course have to tackle the most affordable issues first of all as i am self funded and not part of a group.
My project now is to have the grounds at the orphanage cemented. This sounds like a less important task but funnily enough it is one of the major issues at the orphanage. As the grounds are full of dust and dirt, it is effecting the children’s chest and lungs. The children are playing around on those grounds which are not only leaving them dirty but also breathing in the dust and dirt which is causing them to have chesty coughs. The full project is to build showers and toilets and the full cost of my project will be around £8,000 but i am trying my best to earn at least £7,000 of that on my own. Firstly i want to complete the floor works which will cost around £2,000 and later move on to the shower rooms & toilets in the near future. I would be extremely grateful to receive any help possible.
Thank you :)
