Building the Foundation for a Permanent School

Dear Friend of PAAJAF,

Quality education improve the health and social conditions of our entire community, transform people’s attitude, increase their self-esteem, and promote the sense of inclusiveness in the society. Education is the source of the successful future of our children.

We are most grateful for your investment in our educational project in Ghana and the trust you have gotten in our project which has made you to support it.

This project is to secure plot of land to help us to build a permanent school for our community.  Currently, with our goal of $60,000, we have so far raised $122. We appreciate the support you gave a lot.  It helps a lot since it is contributing to help us to achieve the goal.

December 2019, the school premises expires, and the Landlord has been increasing the rent amount and increasing it of which we are afraid about what going to  be next increment when it expires on December.   

Please we would like to solicit to you, would you help by sharing this project with your friends and networks for us. 

Please do you have any concern that you want it to be addressed?  Have you identified any weakness about us , we would be more than happy to hear so that we can work on it?  How would you rate PAAJAF from a ratio 1 – 10?

Thank you

STORIES

A Quick Recap of Week 7

The children in the Sunflower class (aged 2 – 3 years) and the Morning Glory class (aged 3 – 4 years) continued to practice writing lower case alphabets from ‘a’ to ‘w’, and forming two- and three-letter sounds with vowels ‘a’ and ‘e’ such as ‘as’, ‘an’, ‘am’, ‘me, and ‘he’.

We also held an activity in movement exploration through which the children learnt how to dress according to their tribes’ customs. To read the full story, please visit this link.

Week 8 in Review

Last week, the children in the Sunflower class (aged 2 – 3 years) were able to orally count numbers from 0 – 50, identify numbers from 0 – 20, and write numbers from 0 – 12.

The Morning Glory class (aged 3 – 4 years) practiced writing lower case alphabets from ‘w’ to ‘z’ last week. Since they practiced writing from ‘a’ to ‘w’ the week before, they have completed writing lower case alphabets from ‘a’ to ‘z’ during the last two weeks (18^th February to 1^st March, 2019). Now, they have started to combine both upper and lower case letters, like ‘Aa’, ‘Bb’, ‘Cc’, etc.

Our teachers, Miss Sandra Amu and Miss Susana Amoakowa, also taught their respective nursery classes (Sunflower and Morning Glory) basic health routines (like brushing teeth and washing hands), colouring fruits and vegetables, and the many uses of plants.

The children from the kindergarten classes, Pansy and Carnation (aged 4 – 6 years), read 3- to 6-letter word sentences and practiced the phonic sounds ‘wh’ and ‘er’ during their language activities. During their activities in mathematics, environment, creative art, and religious and moral studies, the children learnt about shapes, domestic animals, keeping our environment clean, stitching and clay modelling.

HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK – A Visit from Health Personnel

Two health professionals from a Ghana Health Service in Ga South District visited our school to give the PEI staff and students an informative talk on healthcare. It was a useful course on taking care of our bodies as well as our environment.
