Teachers Phil and Heather Stoddart and son Tom (12) are moving from the UK to live in Ghana for a year from September 2013. They are working at New Nation School in Accra and hope to bring much-needed educational resources with them.
About the school Set up in 2004 by City of God Church, the school has a Christian ethos and attracts around 550 students who are taught from Nursery to IGCSE and A-Level using the British National Curriculum. It provides affordable and high-quality education and is well-regarded in the area as the quality of state education is poor and good private schooling is too expensive. The school also provides pupils with a daily healthy meal and offers employment for around 100 staff. However, most of the rooms are basic and lacking in materials. What we want to do 1) Acquire educational resources such as learning materials, books and sports equipment. 2) Raise finance to deliver these resources. We have arranged for a cargo company to collect boxes from us each measuring 2 feet square. One box costs approximately £80 to send and we can also have individual items eg projector screen outside of these dimensions packaged and sent. |
