Partnership Announcement!!

We are pleased to announce our partnership with Creative Connections. In the coming months, four of our partner schools in Nsawam, Ghana, will connect with schools in the United States through the Global Voices–ArtLink Programme, providing students with the opportunity to share artistic expressions and learn about each other’s cultures.

As part of preparations for the programme, eight selected teachers from our partner schools participated in a virtual training session on 16th February 2026. The session, facilitated by Annette Thompson, provided a detailed overview of the programme concept and supported teachers in planning for effective implementation.

We look forward to a meaningful and exciting collaboration.

Celebrating Ghana: 69 Years of Progress and Promise

Today, on Ghana’s Independence Day, we celebrate more than a date on the calendar; we celebrate a journey. Since 1957, Ghana has grown from being the first African nation south of the Sahara to gain independence to becoming a beacon of democracy, innovation, and cultural pride. From Kwame Nkrumah’s dream of freedom to today’s vibrant cities, creative industries, and resilient communities, Ghana continues to write a story of progress shaped by its people.

This Ghana is alive in young innovators building solutions with limited resources, artists sharing our culture worldwide, and communities working together to overcome challenges. It is a Ghana where tradition meets modernity, and where hope is built through action, not just aspiration.

To our friends near and far especially our diaspora community, this is a reminder: Ghana is not just a place on the map. It is a people, a culture, and a shared story still unfolding. Let’s honor the journey, celebrate the achievements, and continue shaping the future together.

🇬🇭 Happy Independence Day, Ghana!

Do you think Ghana is giving enough attention to basic education? What changes would you like to see in our basic schools? Share your thoughts! Your voice matters in building a stronger education system for every Ghanaian child.
