Please help us build four (4) water boreholes for the rural students of Otwetiri village school in the Akwapim North District. These poor rural school students use most of their class time to go to a little stream about 2.5 miles away to fetch water for school and home. The goal of The Otwetiri Project (TOP), www.otwetiri.org, is to help build these water boreholes with a borehole on the school compound evict students from being asked to walk all the way to the stream to get water school and home use.
We recently had a fundraising that should help us construct possibly two water boreholes for this poor community. So, we are calling on benefactors anywhere to assist us making this dream come true for the Otwetiri school and its community.
Please just visit www.otwetiri.org to view photos of students going and coming back from the stream in their school uniforms carrying all types of containers, whether little or big empty going to the stream or full of water on their heads coming back.
We definitely need your financial support and any form of assistance to assist these students and the Otwetiri community. You can also reach out to Tometi Gbedema, President-Director of TOP at [email protected] or call at (530) 848-5285 for more information about this project and others on the way.
Thanks to the Davis, California, community, especially the soccer community, we have been able to construct the school house you on our home page, and public latrine for the community. We also hold a village school soccer tournament for the village schools surrounding Otwetiri village, dubbed, "Davis California Challenge Cup (D3C) Soccer Tournament". We plan to talk with the Davis Legacy Soccer Club (DLSC) to see if they can sponsor us in organizing this D3C soccer for these rural kids that keeps the students in school to learn, healthy, strong and safe, and bring these communities together for local social, cultural, traditional and economic development.
