This school, situated near Tamale, applied to GSA for funding to create concrete flooring in their classrooms.  We were able to respond, and have received a lovely thank-you letter, and some pictures.  In November 2017, the Headteacher wrote:  … For barely over three years now we have been trying to get support from either individuals or NGOs to floor the classrooms, but all our efforts were in vain and pupils had to manage sitting on the dusty ground … which does not make the classroom conducive for effective teaching and learning.       At long last, luck shone on us when your representative, Mr. Salifu Baako, visited the school and held a meeting with me and some teachers.  Now we are a happy school.  We have good floors and a floored veranda.  Thanks to your efforts and kind  support.     Mothers expressed happiness that their children’s school uniform will no longer be as dirty as before as they now sit on cemented floor instead of the bare ground. …

The Headteacher’s picture below shows her in an Islamic head covering, even though the school is a Christian one.
