International voluntary workcamp at Senya

Senya-Beraku (Central Region) 12 July '99

 

A 10 member team from the Scottish Girl Guide Association (SGA), are taking part in a two-week international voluntary work camp at Senya-Beraku in the Central Region.

The team led by Miss Jane Stuart and Miss Susan Taylor and local volunteers are helping to build a nursery at the camp organised by the Ghana Girl Guide Association (GGA) and the management of Mother Theresa Memorial Day Care Centre at Senya-Beraku.

According to Mr Kwesi Essel-Koomson, proprietor of the Centre, four Australian insurance brokers and companies, have donated about 25 Million Cedis towards the project.

The proprietor, who is also the Managing Director of KEK Insurance Brokers Limited said he was motivated by the good works of the late Mother Theresa which led to the discovery of the academic and vocational talents of many brilliant girls from poor homes to establish the centre.

Launching the programme on Saturday, Lieutenant Daniel William Osardu, District Chief Executive for Awutu-Effutu-Senya, commended the Scottish Girl Guide team for the love and concern they have shown for the people of Senya-Beraku and Ghana.

He also extended appreciation to the insurance brokers and companies in Australia for contributing substantially towards the development of the Senya-Beraku Mother Theresa Memorial Day Nursery School and urged local companies and NGO's to emulate them.
