Ankumadua Clinic
We’ve just finished one of our biggest ever projects – the construction of a clinic (our third) on the northern road to Aframso.

The photographs show the opening of our latest building – a centre for the disabled of Nsuta and District. The main donors, a Swiss charity called BasAid, sent representatives to the ceremony and were very impressed by the whole project.

Three To A Desk
Campton Lower School generously donated funds to make desks for children in Atonsu Primary School. The two schools are twinned and regularly exchange letters and messages. Atonsu School wrote to thank Campton, saying the (absence of desks) had been a serious need, and promising to cherish and remember Campton’s sensitivity to Antonsu’s problems.
