Doors And Plastering Completed On The Dome Clinic Project.
All the wood and metal doors have now been delivered to the Dome Clinic. The plastering is about 98 per cent complete and we’re just waiting for the tiles.
Very exciting – the building’s now on the verge of being finished.
Cooperation With The Sekyere Central District.
Very good news. Ashanti Development has agreed to work with the Sekyere Central District education authorities to embed our work on improving the quality of teaching and learning. If all goes well, we hope to start working with another District too before long.
The Dome Climic Is Almost Complete.
The Dome Clinic is coming on in leaps and bounds. We’ve got most of the exra expenditure covered (eg beds and lighting and some medical equipment) but still need to raise money to build a house for the medical staff. If there isn’t decent accommodation, no doctors or nurses will be willing to come and work at Dome.
Plastering Stage for Dome Clinic Project
Our new Dome Clinic is not far from completion. Right now, the walls are being plastered prior to painting.
We’re very happy it’s being built so quickly, as we’d like to get it in use as soon as possible.
Happy Mother’s Day
On this Mother’s Day, Ashanti Development would like to express our
> gratitude, love and appreciation to all mothers around the globe for
> their relentless effort and countless sacrifices they put in every day
> for us. Have a wonderful Mother’s Day celebration.
The Return of Artifacts by The British And A Visit To The Ashante Development Meseum
Our friends Professor Malcolm MacLeod and Patrick Holden visited Kumasi recently. Professor MacLeod was tasked with returning artifacts, taken by the British many years ago, to Ghana and giving them to the Ashanti King. While they were there, they attended a durbah (they shook hands with the King) and visited the Ashanti Development museum at Gyetiase.
The photos are of the durbah and the Museum at Gyetiase, where Patrick seems to be making himself at home.
