EDT – Africa
(Education, Development and Training)
Vision for 2014

Dear donors, supporters and volunteers,
EDT-Africa would like to show our sincere appreciation to all our donors who in various ways contributed to our continuing work in identified areas of need in Ghana.

Our heart-felt thanks to the Granbys, the Shellards (Peter, Steven and families), Purcells, Surtees, Cocque family, Grace M. and family, the Ziwus, Leung family, Lay Yen and family, Nanou and family, Auntie Grace O., Auntie Tawiah, Mr. Hammond and family, the Abiakuse family, Tanko and family, the Smith family, the Abbans ...

A shipment of toys and educational material arrived in Ghana from the United Kingdom on the 26th of December 2013. We aim to make the items donated more useful and effective in the development and learning of children. We are putting in place new procedures where donated items (e.g. toys) would be grouped to enhance/ improve/ challenge sensory, cognitive, physical, communicative skills etc.

EDT-Africa recognises the impact of the electronic media and ICT on childhood education in the Majority world. EDT-Africa therefore aims to collect and donate more ICT based equipment. This could enable children/ teachers in the various nurseries, schools or communities to be linked/ exposed to a wider community of learning. Patrons and donors could then actually link up by social media to the various projects EDT-Africa is supporting in the various regions of Ghana.

In 2014, EDT-Africa is hoping to make in-roads into other African countries. We aim to help ailing schools turn-around into high performing schools. This could be regardless of its status or standing.

Thank you once again for helping us transform the lives of those who would otherwise have no opportunity to have quality books to read or educational/ recreational toys etc. to play and learn with.

Wishing you all the best in 2014.
God bless you.

On behalf of the EDT-Africa team,

Grace Otu-Plange.
