During 2015, VODEP
installed electricity conduits and connected to the city electrical grid. After this project was completed, we were
able to install lights and ceiling fans in both the cafeteria and library. Now that we have electricity available in the
library, we were able to set up stations for eight computers that were donated to the school.
VODEP also repainted both the
inside and outside of the school and the cafeteria/library buildings. The weather in Ghana is tropical -- very hot and humid, with a lot of rain -- so the paint on the school and cafeteria/library buildings fade quicker.
During 2016, VODEP
connected water pipes to the main city water line. Now the children have running water for
washing their hands after they eat and play, and
the matron is now able to serve meals in the cafeteria for the students.
