I am spending the Half Term relaxing on the beach in the Western Region of Ghana. It has given me some time to reflect on my visit to schools in and around Accra over the previous week. It as been a fascinating experience. I have had time to make a short movie about the visit. I’ve not had many chances to get my head around iMovie – and this is my first proper attempt. It’s still a first draft (do you make drafts of movies?). Any feedback would be appreciated.

I posted these pictures on my own blog when New Horizon School and CAROSS visited London in September. I thought I might also post them here.
It really was a fantastic learning experience for everyone involved. I am really excited about my visit to Ghana in February! This visit is part of Global School Partnership betweeen Moselle, William Harvey and New Horizon and Castle Road, funded by the British Council and DFID.
Read the BBC report of the visit.
IT Schools Africa donated 156 computers to Ghana schools. Funded by the Rhiannon Trust, Teachers Beyond Borders shipped the computers to Ghana for distribution to schools. Shipping and Clearance were far from straight forward so if you are an organisation wishing to send educational resources to Ghana, please contact us first for advice. Teachers Beyond Borders offers a service to those wishing to send out educational resources to Ghana, including managing shipping, clearance, storage and distribution.
Joanna Merrett, TBB, was in Ghana this month to help Jedi Larkai (TBB Ghana) with the clearance and distribution of computers into schools. This is Kokrobite District Assembly Primary School with the pupils and Head Teachers, Mawuli and Mr. Bently. Kokrobite school has a school link with Broadwater Farm Primary School, Tottenham , London. Continue reading ‘Computers reach Ghana safely!’
Today, Sunday September 13th, four teachers arrived at Gatwick Airport. Their visit to the UK, is part of the Global School Partnership programme, sponsored by the British Council and DFID. What is special about these teachers is that they are all Special School Educators from Ghana, from New Horizon Special School and Castle Road Special School, Accra. They are visiting Moselle and William C Harvey Special Schools in Tottenham, North London.
