Hinii - 2018

The kindergartens in Ghana and in particular in the Saltpond district, where we work with our non-profit organization "Ghana Fort Amsterdam", have a very important role as they allow the numerous children of each village to learn both to read and to write in their own local language (Twi Fante) and in the English language. This is in fact the prerequisite for access to primary school. Today, in the village of Hinii, we have finished building a new kindergarten and at the same time we have renewed the existing one.

Summary of our activity for kindergartens

n. 6 Schools built (Otsir, Fomena, Ademanù, Taido, Ankaful, Hinii)

n. 3 Renovated/renovated schools (Efutuaka, Kwesilanza, Hinii)

We are stunned, we knew Ankaful was a very populated village, but look! How many schools should be doing!

     On February 23 of the current year our Director Daniel handed over the keys of the new Kindergarten to an official of Ghana Education Service. 

     This is the first school building in the populous village of Ankaful and we hope that it can be readily used. We check and will document everything in the month of September to October when we will do the opening for the 2017-2018 school year.

FELICE ANNO NUOVO

Unfortunately wishes do not always come true if they are not accompanied by a good recommendation.

Happy New Year 

and remember that "the chick which is always near its mother gets the best part of the grasshopper" (old Ghanaian proverb).

We thank the red hen who walked her chickens in the village of Otsir.

Congratulations again to all.

Christmas in the village of Otsir

Ankaful_21 September 2016

We were in the village of Hankaful to see the land that had been allocated for the construction for a kindergarten. In our opinion the ground that they had chosen was too far from the village and uncomfortable to reach. Therefore we asked that they found one nearby village and extension such that in the time could also accommodate a primary school. The village representative has accepted our request and we returned to see the new land that we took all necessary measures to check ability to implement our project. Here are the pictures of our visit.

Fomena_2016/17

Fomena: the 2016-17 school year began using the first two classes of primary school has just been completed. Remember the post in June of this year?

As you can see in the pictures that follow, four guys sit tight in the same bank to use the few books they have available; then new teachers.

In 2018 we expect to realize even the block for the third and fourth class

A Lu(ça), che te ridi!

Hinii - Open school

What can I say?

The morning of Sunday, September 18 I was very happy to have taken a series of very interesting photographs for me and for you who follow me.

The first at the Saltpond lagoon: a "Shrine" in bamboo canes with a white cloth at the entrance.

The second: a goat eating toilet paper near the public toilets.

The third: always a kid, he had bitten into a much larger leaf her. Suddenly a gust of wind lifted leaf and goat by rolling on the ground.

The fourth photo was a top view of the densely populated village of Ankaful.

The fifth another "shrine". A small house in raw land and roof raffia. We are in the village of HiNii. Surprise! Inside I see piled the bones of the skeleton of a whale. This is the sixth photo.

The seventh I made it to a group of blacks pigs dozing in the shade of a small shelter built especially for them.

The eighth picture the large lagoon of HiNii.

The ninth photos to a group of children playing dig a big hole in the beach while people threw large ground the long fishing net.

The tenth picture I made to a fisherman who gave it to me specifically requested.

"Will you take me the picture?" - he told me.

"Sure, I'll take the picture to you. Tell me what's your name?"

"Promise"

"I have promised!"

I have told you these ten photos because shortly after, I lost my camera.
