Today, we celebrate the three remarkable teams from Faith Montessori School that participated in this year's Kofi A. Tawiah God Citizenship Challenge.
1. The Let's Heal Ghana Foundation identified the need to improve library facilities in Apraku M/A Basic School and Bortianor M/A Basic School and launched the โBetter Books, Brighter Futureโ initiative. They learned that their libraries needed more books, better furniture, improved lighting and ventilation, and a more welcoming learning environment. Through school visits, needs assessments, stakeholder engagement, and fundraising efforts, the team continued to work towards refurbishing the libraries by providing books, furniture, improved lighting, and other learning resources despite the challenges they faced.
2. Project One for All, by a team of 5 high school students, also took action after learning about the poor condition of the washroom facilities at Gbawe Maternity Demonstration Clinic.
The team discovered that the deteriorated facilities posed serious hygiene and health concerns, particularly for expectant and nursing mothers. Through fundraising, personal contributions and community support, they embarked on a project aimed at renovating 2 of the facilities, 4 urinals and Hand-washing stands. With over GHC20,000 raised through various fundraising efforts, the team remain committed to ensuring that the projects are well completed to improve hygiene.
3. The third project, led by a team of six students, focused on supporting the Dental and Oral Maxillofacial Department of Korle Bu Teaching Hospital. Driven by a desire to make a difference in healthcare, and after considering several community project ideas, the students chose to address a need they believed could make a lasting impact. They engaged with the department to understand its most urgent equipment needs, conducted a needs assessment, developed a preliminary budget, and set a fundraising target of GHS 15,000 to support the purchase of essential dental instruments. Despite facing several challenges, the team from Firm Foundation remains resolute in their pursuit of this goal.
One remarkable aspect of these three initiatives is the determination of the students to persevere amidst the challenges that come with project delivery. The initiatives have also given the students an opportunity to practise compassion, teamwork, perseverance, responsibility and service.
The Kofi A. Tawiah Foundation. celebrate these three teams from Faith Montessori School for these outstanding initiatives.
