Our work is going to be vital and life changing for the disabled children in our community. We have the vision & passion to provide for these children's future education. Our classrooms will give life changing access to education for disabled children. We have to furnish & equip 3 classrooms. Every child has the right to learn despite disability, sadly our communities are impoverished. Funds for special needs children are rarely considered. We will improve the learning & vitally, the teaching.
Education in general plays an important role in the development of a nation or an individual. It is therefore imperative for every country or community to take full responsibility for the education of her people, no matter how severely handicapped or disabled some of the citizenry might be. It is in the light of this that Ghana took steps to initiate special needs education, for the socially disadvantaged in society which led to the opening of the first Special School in Ghana.
In the light of the above, Hopeworks Ghana is undertaking the SEND Project to address some of the challenges confronting Castle Road Special School by providing teaching and learning materials, tables, chairs, computer, printers and painting to the Castle Road Special School, a school that educates and trains students with intellectual and development disabilities. This we believe would help bring relief to these marginalized children, abandoned by society.
The challenges when addressed, would help the school to be in the position to admit more children with special needs and also serve its relevance in society. It would also improve the learning and teaching environments for the children and make the environments attractive to dedicated instructional staff.
