Merry Christmas 2012


Si dice che il Natale sia la festività più bella perché porta amore e felicità in tutte le case del mondo.
Amore e felicità non costano molto, specialmente se è il Natale a portarle, ma Noi, dico Noi che abbiamo più fortuna, cosa possiamo fare per i più poveri?
Dare denaro? Sicuramente è necessario, ma non sufficiente.
Bene! Allora per il 2013 al denaro ci pensiamo Noi della "Ghana Fort Amsterdam" Onlus con i contributi dei nostri amici e costruiremo:
-Una nuova Scuola Materna nei villaggi di Ademanù-Onyapa;
-Una casa in Otsir per i tre figli di Gladis: Mary, Faustina e Richmond.
Ma per rendere la condizione anche sufficiente chiediamo a tutti Voi che ci seguite sul "blog" dall'Italia, Stati Uniti, Ghana, Russia, Germania, Romania, Regno Unito, Francia, India e altre Nazioni un contributo di pensiero attraverso un messaggio, in modo che si possa dire:

Buon Natale a tutto il genere umano!

Vi ricordate del Signor Kent?
Bene! Questo è il meraviglioso mondo del Sig. Kent. Come in una favola, ha allestito il suo mercatino di Natale adeguato al nostro tempo di crisi, e
Franco compra qualcosa da lui.

Buon Natale!

Look at this!


On 25 September we visited the school in the village of Otsir. We stepped inside without being seen
by children and we made a short film where you can hear their voices and those of the teachers.
Look at this!


Then we went to the villages of Fomena-Begyin to see if verything was in order for the opening of the next day.
We met the two teachers assigned by the Ghana Education Service. They are very good. 
One of them, Anase, took us to cape Coast to buy all the necessary educational materials.

The people of the village is really happy and welcomed us with great sympaty.

During the coming weeks we will show you all our work during our stay in Ghana.
Especially, we will reveal the name of the village where we realize the third school structure.

Fomena Kindgarten

A few days ago, work began to build a new kindergarten in the village of Fomena, always in the Central Region and about 20 km from Otsir. This village has been reported to our NPO "Ghana Fort Amsterdam" from the Directorate of the Ghana Education Service Saltpond because, despite being a village of 800 inhabitants, is totally devoid of any educational facility and small children have no chance to start a educational process. The new nursery will consist of two classes and can accommodate up to 64 children. The population of the village is working with enthusiasm to the building.

Mr. Franco Kwaku and Mrs. Chiara  Amma will make a report at the end of March.

Fomena

The non-profit organization Ghana Fort Amsterdam is happy to start a new project.
On advice of Ghana Education Service (Saltpond) we decided to build a kindergarten in the village of
FOMENA.
We discussed in a meeting with the Chiefs and the villagers. So now the kids will be happy to have an appropriate building where they can learn while playing with greater liberty.

Emmanuel

We lost a little friend ... a son,
because the children belong to all mankind . . .  .
Emmanuel will always be with us
trusting his feeble voice to ocean waves.
