Resource Center big success

The computer room in the Resource Centre in Akuase is being used intensively.

Each student of all 7 schools in the village (upper classes of the primary school and secondary school) gets computer classes for an hour a week. Schools from surrounding areas also make use of the ICT-facilities in the Resource Centre. See also the news item on Ghanadistricts.

Oranges for schools

One of BigStep’s first employment projects, the orange orchard, is literally starting to bear fruit. More and more trees are fully grown and bearing fruit. The quantity of fruit is not yet large enough for it to be lucrative to have it processed in a factory, and so the ripe oranges are being distributed among schools in the surrounding area. In this way we contribute fresh fruit to the ‘school feeding program’.
