Project Hope is a consortium of kind hearted, highly motivated, and hardworking youth students with the ambition, passion and common interest to inspire and make a greater difference in the lives of underprivileged children, people and communities across the country donated some educational materials and other items to Akrofuom Methodist and D/A Basic School in the Central Region.
The other items donated included provisions,school bags, clothes, washing powders, and toiletries.
Assin Akrofuom is a town located along the Yamoransa -Kumasi High way.Both schools in the community were deprived of some educational materials .Upon agreement by both Heads of the schools, Project Hope took the initiative to support these schools.
Project Hope is determined at making a big difference in the everyday lives of deprived children through the initiation of a massive student, corperate and social media based donation movement, and fundraising events to support this noble course. Members of Project Hope aim at influencing the youth positively to cause change in the society using philanthropic or charitable means.
"Hope Day @ Assin Akrofuom" as it was dubbed, was funded by the University society through their usual donations.The Project Hope Gh UCC team visited all the six traditional halls on the University of Cape Coast campus to solicit for funds.They also embarked on a door to door collection at some Hostels on the university community .The team stormed various entertainment joints in cape coast like the goil filling station and sizzler to solicit for funds as well. Certain individuals also contributed their quota .Since it was a donation to a school,all members were entreated to donate five excercise books each to support the course."Donate a book to a child" campaign was lunched on several social media sites to help the project as well.
When all materials and items had been gathered , on November 14, 2015, the Project Hope team set out to make the donations to Assin Akrofuom methodist and D/A basic schools in the central region.
The team arrived at the school at approximately 11:00am and by 12:00am; all was set for the donation’s ceremony to commence.Present at the ceremony were ,the Headmistress and Headmaster of Akrofuom methodist and D/A school respectively.Also the PTA executives of both schools,council of elders in Akrofuom and Parents were all available.The founder of Project Hope Gh Christian Owusu Amoako ;who also happened to be the former President of Project Hope Gh- UCC and some past executives of Project Hope Gh-UCC also graced the occasion
An array of activities including educational talk,musical chairs amongst others were organized as part of the entire ceremony .
The educational talk focused Drug abuse, Cleaniness and Teenage Pregnancy which has become canker in the community. Some students were awarded for their good work .
The team also made available drinks, biscuits and toffees to the students and parents who came to grace the occassion.
The project Hope team also had an inspiring session with the kids where they shared words of hope, encouragement and motivation to guard them to higher heights in their educational lives ahead.
Upon a sober reflection throughout the donation ceremony, one could not fail to notice the heartwarming level of joy, happiness and genuine gratification on the innocent faces and beautiful smiles from the students.
