PROJECT 5000's 2nd & 3rd Visits To Ada

PRAISE REPORT ON “PROJECT 5000” SECOND & THIRD VISITS TO BETHEL ACADEMY AND PEDIATORKORPE D/A BASIC SCHOOL (GREATER ACCRA REGION)

Praise be unto the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has sent us forth to the poor and needy that through us their needs may be met.

Friday, 20th May, 2016, was another opportunity to impart into the lives of seven hundred and seventy(770) students and thirty (30) teaching staff of two schools both in the Greater Accra Region-Pediatorkorpe D/A Basic School ( on the biggest island in Ghana) and Bethel Academy.

We journeyed together at 5:30am after a group prayer to prepare us for the journey. It was about two hours’ drive from University of Ghana-Legon Campus.

We arrived there at 8:25am and set up the place for the day’s programme to commence.

The head teachers gladly received us as we introduced ourselves and made known to them the purpose of our visit.

We were then led by one of the teachers who took us round to show us the various facilities of the schools.

We began on a very delightful note which lasted till the very end.

The classes were divided into various sections which are listed below:

• Class 6 to Form 3- Topic: "Education on Temperaments and Career Choices".
• Form 3- Topic: “BECE Special with Mr. Azumah Mawuli, author of the book “Swimming Against the Tides”. All candidates were given a copy of this book which is geared towards youth development through reading habit cultivation and temperaments.
• This set was also taken through a talk on teenage pregnancy.
• Lower Primary- taken through Proper Handwashing skills as well as education on Talents Development.
• The very young ones were not left out as they were taken through Talent Development in a very illustrative manner by Miss Peace and her team.
• Every class was taken through Rhapsody time and every child given a copy of rhapsody being very mindful of their ages.

Thanks to Biblionef who gave us a number of books which was presented to the schools’ libraries for their use.

Brother Afful led all teachers and head teachers to Christ as we distributed copies of “Power of Your Mind” to each of them.

Both visits came with educational tours. After Bethel Academy which was the first school, Spreaders were taken to the Salt Mines to be educated on the process.

It was also a delightful experience when all spreaders had to cross the River Volta by a boat in order to go to Pediatorkope D/A School. Most confessed afterwards their joy and fears since it was their first experience.

At Pediatorkope, we were given the opportunity to exchange greetings with their chief who was very happy and encouraged the members to continue imparting the younger generation positively.
