Adisadel College: Santa 99 set GoFundMe for Solar Revolution project

One of the oldest senior high schools in Africa, Adisadel College popularly known as ADISCO’s 99 year group has set up a GoFundMe to raise funds to embark on a Solar Revolution project.

Adisadel College has a revered tradition which enjoins each year group to host the annual Speech Day and embark on a legacy project after twenty-five (25) years of completion. This tradition perhaps can be traced to a power line their inspirational and often sung school ode. “… Others have labored and we share their glory, ours to do exploits and add to their gain …..”

The Cape Coast based Anglican boys school will on March 9 2024 give the special honors to the 99 year group, Santa 99 to host the 114th Speech Day and to deliver a legacy project.

Santa 99, is a graduating year group that symbolizes the end of an era between the establishments of the college in 1910 to the end of 1999. It’s no surprise why they are popularly referred to us the 90’s “lastborns”.

To commemorate this milestone and as their grand gesture of giving back to their alma mater, the 1999-year group will deliver sustainable and clean energy as their legacy project which is christened as the Adisadel College Green Revolution.

This shall mark the beginning of a Green Solar Energy Revolution at Adisadel College which also aligns with Goal 7 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

The overarching, conspicuous goal of this project shall be to provide a sustainable, clean and cheaper alternative source of energy with the aim of providing a reliable energy alternative that would ensure minimal interruptions to learning and key academic work of students and staff.

Most importantly, the project would offer current students a hands-on experience and opportunity to learn about how they can solve real-world energy issues in an innovative way. It would also ultimately teach students how they have the power to change the world around them in their own small yet powerful way.
