With the millions of readers who visit GhanaCelebrities.Com ( those with Ghana at heart)  in mind, I’ve decided we add something touching to our focus as an online community and strengthen the GC family—through reaching out to help those in desperate need.

Recently, we published an article with a photo which made us aware of the appalling conditions of a particular school in Ghana– Amenam Local Authority Primary and Junior High School, where children sat on pile of blocks to study. In this particular school, “the six-block classroom is built of clay. Part of the roof has been ripped off- the effects of severe weather. Inside the classrooms, there are just about a few broken desks.”

The government is aware of this and has done nothing about it—and waiting on the Ghanaian government to get certain things done means, we will never have the change we want to see. Also, when you look at the bigger picture, we are all part of the government so why don’t we help when we can?

So after a particular conversation, I’ve decided that starting with this particular school, we should be able to occasionally raise some little money via donation and help to make an impact—by bringing change to some of the poorest people in Ghana.

For transparent reasons, I will be avoiding any of the various Foundations and Charities. And we will set up an open donation account on one of the many web fund raising sites which allows everyone to donate and also see how much has been raised/donated—live update of donations.

Once we’ve reached an amount, we will get the things (in this case, the chairs and tables) the school needs and together with a GC reporter/photographer, a presentation will be done.

It doesn’t have to be a big amount, any little we can all donate can come together to help someone and slowly, we can see some changes through our actions and contributions. We have to take the talking to the next stage—that is, put in something little to back our talking and criticisms so that we can change the lives of others.

Below is a LINK to a donation/fund raising page that one of the American entertainment/celebrity blogs championed recently to help make the dreams of a child going to college come through—and the readers of the blog showed their support by donating in small and big to raise nearly $4,000. This is just an example I am showing you so don’t go about donating via the link (save the money for when we start ours to help those in our country who need help). http://www.gofundme.com/aouc2w

Now the big question is, would you support this project when we kick start it?

Note: Before we bring anything up here to ask for help for that person or institution, we will independently investigate to establish if indeed, the situation is as it is being presented. We don’t want any person taking our intention to help and bring a change for a ride.
