The team together with a team of dedicated volunteers spent time painting the school in Akosombo supported by #wewillrizetogether a group initiative started in August 2017 to build this school in Ghana and refurbish a school in Jamaica.

In  2007, This Is  New Africa (TINA)  and  Wood World Mission  Charity  started a school in Akusombo with  just a  handful  of students. What began as  an Orphanage  is  now a  thriving  school with over  200 students  being supported  by the organisation.

National Builders  day  was  to encourage  the  diaspora community  to give  back to  society. The Volunteers were at Akosombo School  to paint  the  school and interact  with the pupils  and inspire them.  

There was also an exciting boat  ride and tour  of  the beautiful Akosombo  landscape fused with  party  in  the bus  and lots of  networking.
