Hello all,
We hope this message finds you well and looking forward to the holidays!
This is our second quaterly update on how we are using the funds raised in the Global Giving campaign that you were a part of.
In our last update we told you about the IT training event happening in the Ashanti region with 30 of our brightest students and showed you how we setup two new computer labs in the Cape Coast region. These two events went extremely well and thus have convinced us to continue dedicating Global Giving funds to these causes.
Our project managers in Ghana have already conducted training ... students and teachers in Accra and are set to undertake another in the Northern region in December. This latter training is of huge importance as our schools in the remote North often have even less access to such skills and knowledge.
We are also pleased to announce that your donations contributed towards our biggest ever shipment of computers. We told you previously that we were set to beat our record of 392 computers and, after an incredibly busy summer, we filled not one, but two 20ft shipping containers with IT equipment, which are currently on their way to Ghana. Later in December Ghana will receive 644 desktops, 792 flat screens and 47 laptops, as well as various other IT accessories and technical tools. This means another 32 schools will be outfitted with IT labs in 2016, thanks in part to your generous donations.
Once again, thank you all for being a part of the Turing Trust journey and helping to influence the future of students in rural Ghana.
If you are interested in helping further, there is no better time than now. For this month only, starting December 1st until December 31st, all new monthly recurring donations set up will be matched funded. As long as your monthly contribution is £100 or less and continues for at least 4 months, Global Giving will match the inital donation 100%.

All the best,
The Turing Trust Team
