Newells Academy Fundraiser












On Sunday August 5, Newells Academy hosted a fundraiser and class 6 graduation ceremony. The money is needed to help build a proper school for the children. We were lucky to unexpectedly have electricity that day, so our expenditure wasn't as high because we did not have to rent a generator and buy fuel... But, even so, after the expenses we did have, we raised only 4,830,000 cedis. This is equivalent to about $550 dollars - which due to inflation will not go too far. Every little bit helps though, and at least its a start.




Here are some pictures of the event... the children performed dances, a play, and recited some poems. There was also lots of music, speeches, and some dancing.
