GLOVO INAUGURATES FOSTER HOME
GLOVO
made a giant historic stride this year when it inaugurated its Foster Home at
Agona Swedru on Tuesday 21st January, 2014. The Home is aimed at
providing quality shelter, education and care giving for the orphaned and
vulnerable children in the Swedru Municipality and its environs.

The
inauguration was graced by the Deputy Municipal Director of Social Welfare, Chiefs
and elders of Otaprow and surrounding communities, GLOVO Executive, relatives
of foster kids and a representative from the Ghana Police Service. The Deputy
Municipal Director of Social Welfare who was the Guest Speaker commended GLOVO
for providing such a splendid edifice to aid the work of Social Welfare.

According to him, Ghana Government wants individuals and organisations to
establish Foster Homes rather than orphanage homes where inmates are
permanently separated from their biological relatives. He added that most
children at orphanage homes in Ghana are not able to integrate into mainstream
society when they grow up because of the isolated and solitary lives they lead
at the orphanage homes.

It
was therefore welcoming news that GLOVO had established this foster home which
is going to allow the relatives of the foster children to visit them
periodically and from time to time the kids will be sent home to visit their
relatives to socialise with them and are brought back to the home. The Social Welfare
Department thinks the foster care system is the ideal way of giving care and
support to less privileged kids and advised donors to channel resources into
foster care homes more than orphanages for the former yields better results.

The
Municipal Police Inspector who was the Guest of Honour advised the care givers
and foster parents to desist from any act of child abuse and stressed that they
should passionately work towards shaping the lives of the kids entrusted in
their care. He also advised the care givers to call on him whenever they
suspect any security threat at or around the home.
The
Director of GLOVO Mr. Williams Yirenkyi expressed his joy about the coming into reality of his dream.
He said that the establishment of and maintenance of foster care home come with
daunting challenges. He cited feeding, medical bills, education, staff
salaries, lack of electricity, and establishment of more homes to shelter more
vulnerable children among others as challenges the organization is facing. He
expressed his gratitude to the Morningstar Family Ministries in Canada for
their generous donation of funds for the establishment of the home. The
building is dedicated to Mrs Maristan, meaning “wished-for-child settlement”.
He used the platform to appeal to individuals,
churches, corporate bodies and charitable organisations to come on board to support
such a worthy cause. He made a clarion call to volunteers, both short and long
term volunteers, to come in their numbers to volunteer in GLOVO projects.
As
a way of ensuring that quality health care is provided for the Glovo kids, the
Director said a paediatric centre is under construction but the pace of work
could be made faster if much funds were made available in order to fast track
the pace of work on the paediatric hospital.

The
Project Secretary introduced the Caregivers and their two kids followed by the
introduction of the six foster kids to the gathering. From there the Chief of
Otaprow cut the tape to officially open the building for the foster care
project. The dignitaries at the function inspected the facility and were very
impressed about the comfortable shelter provided for the kids. The kids were
later ushered into their rooms to formally begin their stay at the home.

Besides
the inauguration of the foster home, the GLOVO Academy which is also at the Village
is growing from strength to strength in terms of enrolment and better student
output. The Staff of the school, though underpaid, is working effectively to
ensure that they meet the academic target set for them by management.
Discipline and hard work are our hallmark. Despites these feats, the school
lacks classrooms and this situation has compelled management to shelter some
pupils under canopies and whenever it rains or shines, teaching and learning is
adversely affected.

Pay
us a visit in Ghana and you will never regret you did. The foster kids would
like to see and interact with you and they would be glad if you could sponsor
them in their upkeep.
In order not to compound the situation in the next academic
year, we appeal to everybody to come to our aid in constructing a classroom
block for these innocent KIDS.
Belated
happy and prosperous New Year from the entire GLOVO Team in Ghana to you all!
Glovo Team @ 2014
Glovo Academy re-opened on the 10th
September 2013 to usher in the 2013/2014 Academic year. Indeed, it was a
wonderful day seeing parents feverishly seeking admission for their wards. Both
the teaching and non-teaching staff was at post to ensure that the school kids
were well protected.
The re-opening also saw the movement
of kids from the old school site, which was the genesis of the school to the
permanent school site Glovo Village which is more spacious and conducive for learning though
the structures, are no fully completed.
The new academic year has also seen the
creation of Basic four in order to meet the demands of parents who were
Raguel enjoying the nursery kids at Glovo village
|
This huge number however comes with
its own challenges. The school is battling with how to pay the staff
sustainable salaries in order to retain them. Secondly, the need to complete
the classroom structures, construction of nursery block, kitchen and furnishing
them is also a great challenge.
Getting playing equipment and gadgets for the
kids is also a challenge we cannot gross over.
Local kitchen |
In fact, educating kids at
relatively cheaper cost at our side of the world is very difficult and this
calls for collaboration among all stakeholders including donors and charitable
organizations in order to make progress. The ultimate goal of Glovo is to
establish a school of academic excellence a foster home which would be properly
managed, a pediatric hospital which would be efficiently administered,
counseling centre which would be massively patronized, football academy to
develop the talent in our children and Glovo administrative offices all in a
single area referred to as Glovo village under the supervision of Glovo.
Catch them young. |
With this bigger vision, only the
school is partly constructed and other projects remain untouched. This opens
door for interested donors and corporate bodies to extend their assistance to
Glovo so that this great vision become a reality.
Beside these challenges, our
volunteering working is growing from strength to strength.
Our partnership with
Kulturlife, Welwart and AIESEC has become even stronger yet we need more
partnership from other volunteering organization such as yours to send more
volunteers to work in our various projects in Ghana.

Individuals who want to do short
term voluntary services can also apply directly to us for consideration and
believe me; you would forever remember you stay in Ghana.
