Our new Hon. Secretary, Michael Hammer, has asked me (Penny Sewell) to post an update. He will, in the long run, take over responsibility for our website. The committee met via zoom on 27th November 2025 and the news is as follows. Our finances are borderline healthy but we have commitments that do not allow us to agree to more grants at present. Our project at Adaklu Kodzobi D/A Basic School for a reading room, computer laboratory and attached toilet facilities in memory of one of our co-founders, Eric Earle, is proceeding well, though heavy rain has led to some delay. The opening is scheduled for early in 2026. In Zugu D/A Primary, Kasuliyili E/A Primary and Sabegu D/A Junior High School, metal desks have been constructed, delivered and are in service. Everyone lent a hand to get the desks moved to the schools and we thank our representative, Baaku, for his supervision of progress and also handing over the desks over to the schools at the end of October. The schools have also shared letters of appreciation with us and sent us pictures. We will hold any other requests for grants that we have received until our next committee meeting in January.

Ghana School Aid will celebrate its fortieth birthday in 2026, and planning for celebrations both in the UK and in Ghana is under way.
