Project: Educational materials for the Akropong school of the Blind

Sponsorship:  Ghana Home Loans made a donation of 50 packs of Braille sheets and 7 packs of Braillons to the School for the Blind in Akropong. According to some staff members of the school, students of the institution are unable to purchase Braille sheets and Braillons because of their expensive nature. Because of the inadequacy of these learning materials, teaching and learning was greatly impaired. The staff and students of the institution were so happy with the donation because it was going to improve their worrisome situation.
