Lana and I are fundraising to build a small library at Focus Acadamy School in Ghana, where we have been volunteering.

Hi all! My volunteer partner Lana Stevenson and I are currently volunteering in Ghana at Focus Academy primary school. During our time here, we have been constantly amazed by the students’ spirit and drive to learn, regardless of whatever circumstance they’re in. Unfortunately, these beautiful kids are limited by the lack of resources within the school, one of those being access to reading materials. Lana and I have decided to construct a small library within the school, equipped with books so students can develop their English comprehension - an essential skill for their future success in modern day Ghana. It is important to us that our contribution to this school and the students we have grown to love can be something that can continue to benefit them long after we’re gone.
In order to achieve this, we will need to fundraise to provide storage and books for the students. We will be sourcing the books in Ghana so that they will be catered to the students’ syllabus and are relevant in a Ghanaian context.
We would appreciate any support you would be able to provide through this page. Any amount will make a difference - the more money we raise, the more books we can buy!
If you have any questions or want any more information about our school or the project, feel free to get in contact with myself or Lana :) Thank you so much!

Me and Lana are volunteering as teaching assistants in Focus Acadamy Primary School, Ghana. We want to provide something that will continue to benefit the kids even after we leave.
The money fund raised will be spent on shelving and storage, but mainly books for the students.
