Story
On Saturday 6th May 2017, I'll be running 10km in the Lake District, as part of an organised Lakeland Trail event, to help raise funds for my cousin's charity 'Pen to Paper Ghana'.
Pen to Paper Ghana is a registered Ghanaian NGO (Reg. No. D.S.D./6604) that aims to improve education and facilities for the youth of Ghana, to give them a good grounding for a successful future. The organisation works in partnership with Ghana Education Service.
The organisation’s mission is to improve education, particularly literacy. With nearly 50% of children in Ghana unable to read at all, Pen to Paper Ghana makes a difference by providing free literacy classes, training teachers on their phonics programme and giving school scholarships to those that are highly academic, but without the financial means to continue with their education. The team also visit pupils in their homes at weekends, increasing their knowledge and passion for reading in the home environment.
In addition, Pen to Paper Ghana improves the infrastructure of schools, providing a pleasant, safe environment for pupils and teachers; this also increases attendance and improves learning.
