At Old Adwampong Community School(OAC School), we continue to focus strongly on English and Mathematics in line with Ghana’s national curriculum. Mid-term assessments and teacher workshops have been introduced to improve classroom delivery and strengthen student outcomes.

But learning isn’t just about textbooks; it’s about discovery, creativity, and experience.! Our volunteer Amina has launched a creative pilot project where children explore everyday places — the market, kitchen, hospital, and home — through fun role-play sessions. These activities build vocabulary, improve reading and writing, and boost confidence in using English in real-life situations.The idea alone has already brought smiles and excitement! Costumes are being prepared, materials organized — and the journey has just begun. Stay tuned for our first creative learning updates soon!

Exciting progress! Our water storage tank renovation is moving ahead. After removing the old metal stand and concrete base, we’ve completed all six concrete pillars, now drying for four weeks before the tank platform is built. Once finished, the new system will provide reliable and clean water, boost irrigation for our vegetable farm and support a more sustainable, self-sufficient community.

Every phase — from plumbing works to installing a new ladder — is being carefully carried out to ensure long-term benefits for the children and the farm.

New Adventures in Senior High

We are proud to share that 3 of kids have successfully passed the Basic Education Exam and are now enrolled and have settled in their boarding schools!
We equipped them with everything they need — mattresses, clothes, books, and school supplies — as they begin this exciting chapter. It’s their first time living away from the Children’s Village, and we look forward to hearing about their adventures after 2.5 months.

This marks a huge milestone in their education and a big step toward their bright futures!

Despite limited rainfall and no irrigation system, this year’s vegetable harvest has exceeded expectations! We’ve been growing garden eggs and okra — staples in our kitchen — and the harvest is still ongoing. Hard work and dedication truly pay off! Your support makes all of this possible..

We are thrilled to share that, after just three months in the program, all of the new children and their mothers have smoothly integrated into their new environment and are flourishing in their new homes! The majority of the children have enrolled in our school, where they have already formed meaningful friendships and are excelling academically.

For the young mothers, our hands-on training programs (SMW) are providing invaluable opportunities for personal growth and development. Our trainers are deeply attuned to their individual needs, offering customized support that helps them efficiently and effectively acquire essential skills.

Additionally, we are proud to announce that our solar system has undergone a significant upgrade. It now generates enough energy to power both the village and the training center, ensuring long-term sustainability and efficiency.

As the holiday season unfolds, we’re filled with gratitude and joy reflecting on the year’s progress.

Preparations for Christmas are well underway, our team has worked hard to bring cheer to the children. We’ve been busy purchasing clothes and shoes as gifts for the kids, as well as organizing a special family trip to the lake Bosomtwe to create lasting memories together.
At school, the children completed their end-of-term exams, which wrapped up on December 20, 2024. It’s been a year of growth and achievement, and we’re proud of all they’ve accomplished.
Looking ahead, we’re excited to start another session of the SMW (Sunday Morning Woman) training in January 2025.
This program will focus on empowering women through skills training, and similar to this year in hair braiding, nail art, and sewing, helping them gain practical and sustainable skills to support their families.

In addition, we’ve been diligently working on renovations and general maintenance at the Children’s Village to ensure that every home remains safe, comfortable, and welcoming.
As we reflect on this year, we want to extend our deepest thanks for your unwavering support.
Your generous donations and encouragement make all our programs and efforts possible, and we are truly grateful. Wishing you a joyful holiday season filled with peace, love, and warmth.
Sending heartfelt greetings from Ghana Afehyia pa! (Merry Christmas)     

Your support has truly been a game-changer for our students and teachers! Thanks to your generosity, they now have access to additional educational resources and training. The new textbooks have revolutionised learning at our school by offering us the updated versions of learning materials, based Ghana educational curriculum. Plus, the food donations (bags of rice, beans, etc.) have ensured that our students are well-fed and ready to tackle their studies with full energy.

Moreover, our recent teacher training programs have introduced exciting new teaching techniques and strategies. Our teachers feel more effective than ever, which is sparking greater student success in the classroom!

We are immensely grateful for the wonderful support our village school has received. It’s made an enormous difference in the quality of education we can provide. Here’s to continuing this fantastic journey together, enhancing even more opportunities for our amazing students!

We wish you all and loved ones a happy easter time.

It’s 6 March, marking the 67th Independence Day anniversary of Ghana this year. Like in previous years, there will be a nationwide parade held in almost every community in Ghana to mark this event.
At the children’s village and other communities surrounding us, we will be participating as well.

For this, all kids at our community school have prepared and practiced enormously and will be marching through 5 communities, which is also regarded not only to showcase the wonderful talents and skills the kids have but also as an advertisement for the school and the good work loszughana has been doing in supporting free education for especially needy kids.

We thank you all for your unwavering support this year. We couldn’t have come this far without your continuous interest and support. May you have a very Merry Christmas and healthy and Happy New Year. Afehyia Pa!..
