Twedaase Primary School leads the way in Tema as it’s early years block goes solar.
Work has started on our biggest refurbishment project to date. In Twedaase Primary school a whole early years block for children aged between 2 and 6 years old was very much in need of some TLC. Broken masonry, uneven surfaces, wiring but no power source…
Along come our brilliant partners and donors and the transformation has started.
The children began by helping clearing the block and sweeping the floors. With thanks to our corporate donors we employed a local contractor to carry out all of the preparation work (ably assisted by the Futurestars team) to fix the masonry, smooth the uneven surfaces and make the block safe and ready for painting.
Our wonderful friends from Aqua Africa arrived on day three to install nine solar panels and connect them up to the existing wiring. Another great friend of the charity, Lavish Sobhraj, has also donated ceiling fans so not only will the children and teachers have solar powered light, but they’ll stay cool too.
Just today Aqua Africa connected the solar panels, the British High Commission delivered much-needed step ladders and Azar Paint kindly donated enough paint for the entire block. We are officially ready for the veritable army of volunteers arriving this week to help clean, paint and finish – watch this space – but in the meantime thank you so much from the children and teachers at Twedaase
School!
