The pupils of the Naa Kordey Memorial Child Development Facility in the Ga West District of the Greater Accra Region of Ghana were delighted to know that students in far away Damerest Middle School in New Jersey, U.S care about them enough to painstakingly prepare booklets for them.
Madam Leah and Julie, 5th grade teachers from Damerest Middle school read one of the booklets to the primary 1 and 2 pupils of the school in Ghana after which, they distributed the booklets to them.The recipients of the beautiful gifts couldn't hide their excitement.
Meanwhile, students and teachers of Damerest Middle School donated much of their time, efforts, and own money for the cause of these vulnerable pupils in Africa.For example, the volunteer teachers ran a school dance where over 500 students in the area came to what they called “Dance for Africa,” numerous bake sales where students sold homemade goods, and several teacher and community donations.The Founder and Manager of the local facility has received the donation on behalf of the facility and would on Monday present it to the children.
