EN_ THANK YOU ALL!

We raised enough for the high school fee and even more!
Therefore, according with RANeF foundation, we will make small repairs to the Kalì classroom (wooden doors, desks etc).
We will always try to do our best.

Special thanks to "Mario Diana foundation" and the Pota family.

IT_ GRAZIE A TUTTI VOI!
Abbiamo completato la raccolta per la tassa scolastica e fatto anche di più!
Perciò, con la fondazione RANeF, faremo piccole riparazioni necessarie alla classe di Kalì (porte in legno, banchi ecc).
Cercheremo sempre di fare del nostro meglio.

Un ringraziamento speciale alla fondazione Mario Diana ed alla famiglia Pota.

EN _ Hello everyone!

After three long and difficult years, we are excited to share some good news from Okorase village.
The first group of students from Kalì Junior High School, which we built together, recently took their final exams, and they achieved a 98% pass rate!
This is an amazing result, and we are incredibly proud of them.

It is essential to provide these young people the opportunity to continue their studies and follow their dreams. We believe that education is the key to unlocking a brighter future for them.

We are happy to report that 31 students passed and have been placed in their chosen senior high schools. However, five students (four girls and one boy) could not attend school because their parents could not afford the fees and the items required to start.
Do you want to help them to continue their studies?
We need to collect a small amount to give our guys the best opportunity. Every little bit counts and if you can’t donate, please help us to spread the word as much as you can.

These students are our future doctors, artists, architects, musicians, teachers, and anything they aspire to be. Please join us in supporting them on their journey.

IT _ Ciao a tutti!

Dopo tre anni lunghi e difficili, siamo entusiasti di portare buone notizie dal villaggio di Okorase.
Il primo gruppo di studenti della Kalì Junior High School, che abbiamo costruito insieme, ha recentemente sostenuto gli esami finali e ha ottenuto un tasso di superamento del 98%!
È un risultato straordinario e ne siamo incredibilmente orgogliosi.

È fondamentale dare a questi giovani la possibilità di proseguire gli studi e seguire i propri sogni. Crediamo che l'istruzione sia la chiave per un futuro migliore.

Siamo lieti di annunciare che 31 studenti sono stati ammessi nelle scuole superiori prescelte. Purtroppo, cinque studenti (quattro ragazze e un ragazzo) non possono frequentare la scuola perché i loro genitori non possono permettersi la retta di iscrizione e gli articoli necessari per iniziare.
Vuoi aiutarli a proseguire gli studi?
Dobbiamo raccogliere solo una piccola somma per dare ai nostri ragazzi una migliore opportunità. Ogni piccolo contributo conta e se non puoi donare, aiutaci a condividere il più possibile.

Questi studenti sono i nostri futuri medici, artisti, architetti, musicisti, insegnanti e tutto ciò che aspirano ad essere. Unitevi a noi nel sostenerli nel loro viaggio.

Hi everyone!
It's a lot that we don't post anything and we know that the world is living a very delicate moment but we need your help now!

When we where in Ghana to build our classroom we had the chance to meet a lot of people and obviously a lot of great kids. But there was one who has always been special for us.

His name is Yaw Tosu (but we always called him Yaovi), and he lives just about 50 meters from where we built our classroom. During the 3 months we stayed in Ghana, he came to visit our building site everyday to play with the volunteers and see how things where going.
There were a lot of children in the village, some shy and others feisty, but for sure he was the most polite and sweet kid we had around during those happy days.

Well, his health is now in danger. He has been diagnosed with a fatal eye disease and he is scheduled for surgery soon, but the surgery is very expensive so we are trying to fundraise the money needed to help him!

PLEASE, if you can, consider to donate even a small amount to help him or spread the word as much as you can!
We personally know Yaovi, his family and the person who is managing the fundraising, and we hope we will be able to share good news about his sight very soon!
Thank you in advance!
