How can

help?
The
primary objective of “Clap for Jesus” is to fund the construction of a
residential high school in the Western Region of Ghana that will eventually
accommodate five hundred boys and girls. The mission of this school is to
produce a number of future leaders in this area,
 grounded
in Christian principles, who will pursue careers as teachers, doctors, nurses,
religious, government leaders, etc. These future
leaders would have the potential to significantly upgrade the quality of life of
the people in this region.
In the
district where the school will be located, there are eighty junior secondary
schools (equivalent to our middle schools) and just four senior high schools.
These schools are severely overcrowded with sixty or more students per classroom
making it extremely difficult to provide a quality learning experience. The
site, which was donated to the diocese by one of the local chiefs, is one
hundred twenty five acres and ideally suited for the campus plan. The campus
itself will occupy about twenty five acres.
A phased
construction plan has been developed to achieve an opening of the school in
September, 2007 with an initial enrollment of 75-80 students. Phase I
construction will include:
-
a classroom building, which will temporarily
serve as a boys dormitory
-
an assembly hall, which will also serve as
an administration building and dining hall
-
two bungalos, one will provide housing for
the principal and the headmaster, the other will serve as the girls
dormitory.
 In the
following year Phase II construction will include a dormitory building and a
dining hall. This will increase capacity to about 200 students by September,
2008.
Capital
costs for Phase I and II will be approximately $1million. In the next two years
another $1million will be required to bring student capacity up to 500 students.
Your
help is required to accomplish this plan. There are few places where each
dollar invested can generate such a significant return and positively impact the
lives of so many people.
