Sponsorships are in place for the coming school year! Thanks to all student sponsors who have continued with us and to the wonderful people with a graduate choosing to help another new student! 

Linda and Abraham spent the day in Accra purchasing items for the shops/shopkeepers at Dekpor Central.  Thanks to Busch Systems for financing this! Photos will be shared soon!

Shipping extravaganza! Two vans-full of items picked up early morning at Sigma Promotions, followed by a Carol-frenzy of prepping.  Adding the Sigma goodies to all the donations from the people listed above meant TWO very FULL trips for Carol to the shipper! Thank you to everyone who donated!

The school campus building walls, both inside and out, are being washed by teams of students. Dekpor is a very dusty place! See the Step by Step album.

Major repairs to 2 of the 5 school reservoirs.  Re-plastering of the walls in both, and redoing the floor of one of them.  See the Step By Step album.

Vacation classes begin. Students from P5 right up to JHS 3 are benefiting from extra classes in math and ICT! See the album!

Today we were able to wrap up a wee project that has been just waiting for the 'right' time!  See Chicken Coops! A big thanks to Ulrike Sprosec who made her retirement celebrations extremely EGGScellent!

We are SO excited about the new and improved water situation on Dekpor Basic School campus! A huge shout out to Joyce Wilson!  This is something we have wanted to further upgrade for a long time!

We have REAL EAVESTROUGHS! After years  of countless repairs to the handmade flimsy things that we did our best with, we are overflowing with joy to know that the precious rainwater will go where we want it ... into the reservoirs! Be sure to read more about the eavestroughs and their importance!
