DalaGhana 1. Testing

Testing this blog page where we shall be updating what is going on in Ghana; fundrasing activities, where the money is going, show the different communities, share ideas....etc etc.

First of all to thank everyone who came to the Boat Party on October. And thank the Ship of Fools who let us have their boat for the night (until the police decided that was enough) It was such fun! and we raised just over 800 Euro -half of which went to Orphanage Africa (they have been able to buy the desks for their new school with that money). The other half went to Osu Community; and was used to pay for their water bills, and they have completed 3 new toilets for the community, and are also going to build a fence to keep their goat out of the public spaces, (which will improve the general hygene, so they dont shit everywhere), and they will cover some of the exposed gutters.

Franklin, and artist from Osu Community has made Christmass cards, Tshirts and key rings which Matthias and I will try to sell before Christmass. At the Osu Cultural Community they are trying to develop ways to be self sustainable, using art (music, dance, and paintings). In the future we shall display some of talented Franklin's art work pieces.

I am not really computer savy, but will try to figure out how to post pictures here.
Besos,
Rocio
