Theme: Legacy with Impact – Opoku Ware School and its Future

The 2015 Annual Meeting will focus on opportunities for expanding the capacity of Opoku Ware School for greater impact. Given the current state of funding secondary schools in Ghana, there is a need for external funding to create appropriate capacity for EDUCATING students for a technological world. The 2015 Annual Meeting will provide a forum for discussing and exploring such opportunities for capacity expansion in the long term. This annual meeting combines a business meeting, and dance-fundraising and cookout events to focus on the state of the association and its current and future impact on Opoku Ware School.
