UNIVERSITY SPONSORSHIP APPEAL SUCCESS.

We advertised in the last issue of Ashanti News for donors who would sponsor poor students through university. Our existing sponsorship scheme provides funds for the last three years of their education, but until now we’ve had no money to give them for university costs. Our appeal for funding has generated promises covering five students and we’re still hoping for more. This is a great result and we’re very grateful to all the donors – under both the new scheme and the old.

The Griffiths Family Visit To Dome, Ghana.

The pictures show the welcome given to our amazing donors, Gill and John Griffiths, when they visited the village of Dome a few days ago with two of their grandchildren. Gill and John have funded a large clinic building at Dome, which will serve twelve nearby villages as well as many migrants driven south because of climate change – but it’s too soon to estimate their numbers or gauge their health needs.

Dome Village held a ceremony with speeches and dancing and made Gill and John honorary citizens of the village. They’re considering coming back next year to see the clinic in operation and the village will be delighted to see them again.

Accommodation for Volunteers at The Dome Clinic

The first photo shows the volunteers’ accommodation which we’re building alongside our new clinic at the village of Dome. At present the structure is complete and plastering is being carried out inside the building. The second shows the platform which is being built to accommodate the water tower.
