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.

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.

The photos are of Ashanti Development’s annual summer party, A Taste of Ghana in England.

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.

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.

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.
