Resource and Assessment Centre in Ho - Ghana completed

We are delighted to receive the above photo which shows us the completed Resource and Assessment Centre in Ho, Volta Region, Ghana. The Centre will be an invaluable asset not only for the local community but also for determining the degree and type of need for the children who will hope to be given the opportunity to have a place in our Inclusive School. 
Whilst the Australian Government has funded the actual building it is the Rotary Foundation which is providing the funds needed to buy the essential equipment used in making a proper assessment of the needs of children with disabilities, be they intellectual, physical or both. The funds come from a District Grant and from the Rotary Club of Norwich which continues to embrace the project as it passes on to Stage 2- building the Kindergarten for the school.
Very many thanks to all those who have already contributed to this project and to those of you who are very welcome to join us. A fully Inclusive School is a ground-breaking project in a part of the world which is only just beginning to wake up to the possibility of educating people with disability.
It is hoped that the Centre will officially open on the 14th February 2019
