GLOVO MOVING FORWARD BUT.............

We are sorry to keep you all waiting for so long. The last months we were still spending time to make the school to a successful and healthy place for our children. The construction work on GLOVO Academy at 

the new site is still going on, we reached the highest level ever of volunteers who are joining our GLOVO family and the pupils spent the last weeks before vacation with writing their exams very succesfully. The GLOVO team hopes that all of you enjoy your summer and has much news to inform you about from the last months. Our vision is to put all our effort in brightening the future of needy children academically and we want you to be part of it.

Volunteer project

Within the last months we had to say goodbye to some of our GLOVO volunteers but there were more volunteers we had to say AKWAABA. The last volunteer for this summer arrived a few days ago and we are very happy about 12 helping hands in school. Except for two of them, who are sent through AIESEC, all the others are sent through Kultur-Life. The duration of their stay ranges from six weeks up to six months.

Depending on their knowledge they work as teacher assistants and are supporting the current teachers at the GLOVO schools with their ideas, knowledge and time. Some of them have even brought some games and learning materials to the school for the usage during lessons and breaks. We are very thankful.  All of the volunteers are also sure that they grow while joining the GLOVO family through learning a lot about themselves. We are also looking forward to an enriching time with all the volunteers and we are doing our best to make their stay a memorable one.

We are proud that so many people from all over the world come to join and help us. If you also want to become part of this great program or know somebody who wants to spend their time with sharing great ideas and helping children in need on their way through basic education, you can get more information if you contact Kultur-Life (www.kultur-life.de) or take a look on our homepage (www.glovo.org).

Going-to-vacation program

During the last days before vacation most of the pupils wrote their exams. Because of the educational materials given to the school the children could have been prepared very well and we are happy to say that they all made very good results. The best children are promised to receive a present after the next school term. The head of our project, Williams Yirenkyi, congratulated them and gave every child a toffee,

Lunch Time

sponsored also by the volunteers, who are very proud of their children. Afterwards they sang and played to start into the vacations. We wish all the children a very healthy and refreshing time, to start in a new successful school period on the 14/05/2013. During this vocational period our volunteers are helping the GLOVO Team wherever help is needed. But they also travel through the country to see more and also learn more about the country and culture. 

Expansion of the GLOVO Academy:

As we already told you in the last newsletters, we are happy to have a new building containing two class rooms for Primary one and two of the GLOVO academy. The rooms are open for teaching and learning

since September last year. But our target is to build not only a two classroom building, but a multi-purpose building comprising several important facilities. Our preferred date is September this year. But to make this wish come true we depend on you for more help. Our idea is to name a single building or block after the generous donors to say thank you to an openhearted donator in a public way. Please contact us if you are interested in this kind of donation or take a look at our donation-blog www.betterplace.com. 

 Appreciation: We want to express our profound gratitude to our Canadian partners for the kind of support they had been rendering to children under our care. In the second quarter of this year they had supported the completion of the Washroom, Purchase a new Poly Tank and surprisingly starting a new building for the children home. 

Glovo Germany will not be left out in this regards as they pull all their wings in Germany to support Glovo Ghana the mother organization. As part of this development Simon Ansel and Hillie led 14 students and two teaching staff to Ghana as part of the student exchange program. www.glovo.de

Further needs:

As far as the number of our children increases steadily our school bus needs to be replaced. Sadly, we did not have the chance to buy a new school bus. To offer the boys and girls but also the volunteers a comfortable way to go to school, we depend on your help. With a small donation, each of us would be able to help a needy child to get to school safely. Please take a minute to think about this wish and help us to safe the situation. 

" A JOURNEY OF A THOUSAND MILE START WITH A STEP"

Furthermore, our teachers love to teach our highly motivated children and are well prepared to do it. A big THANK YOU to all of them. Without you we wouldn’t have made it so far. Therefore it is very said that we

Foster care project

are only able to pay them small salary. They are paid 60GC per months that are approximately 30US Dollars. As you can imagine there is not much money left at the end of a month. For that reason we are hoping to be able to find a way for the teachers to stay in school. If you are thinking about paying the salary for one teacher in school please contact us. This is not only to help the teacher but also the children to learn from a person who is highly motivated.
We still want to remind our numerous donors on the under listed project which are yet to see the light of the days.
1. Glovo Clinic: Health care services 
2. Computer Lab: Learning center to be part of the technological world for our future leaders
3. Bole Hole System: Water for all at Glovo Village
4. Sports complex: playing grounds for the kids

We hope to keep on walking this road towards our aims and visions with you all together so as to guide, support and monitor all those children under our wings on their way into a good, successful and healthy future. The sunniest greetings to all of you from Agona Swedru, Ghana!

GLOVO Team.
