Now that our high school system is in a hiatus, there's the need for young leaders to help solve the problem.
Abraham is working with the Odeefo Oteng Korankye Educational Fund by teaching Mathematics to high school students in the Berekuso community.
With the double track system implemented by the government as a temporal solution to the overpopulation in our high schools, these innocent students are made to be in school for only two months after which they stay at home for two months while the next batch goes to school.
With only two months in school, how is it possible for teachers to effective complete the voluminous syllabus? How will teachers assess students effectively and even give attention to weak students?
These are sad times but Yensua Educational Support (YES) is working to cater to the needs of these students and to give them a better future even in our 'crisis'.
Kudos to Abraham Tetteh Addy and other young leaders who are contributing in their own small ways to help address the problem!

As part of our Trash4Ed program, we help pupils develop basic skills that teachers hardly focus on. Here's a picture of one of our sessions on how to use the dictionary to find meaning of words.

Our project lead, Mr Abraham T. Addy, has been equipped to make more impact as a young leader.
Kudos to all young leaders, like Mr Abraham, who focus their energies on improving the lives of others!

The Ahote Sanitation Project does not only ensure that waste is recycled, it also provides a dependable source of livelihood for about 50 elderly women and youth, both directly and indirectly.

This is where it all started; in 2015, our project lead pitched the idea behind TranSite in the Cleanacwa Innovation in Sanitation Prize and made it to the final stage, where he competed with students from Harvard among others.

Not only is it fulfilling when you're able to improve the lives of others, it is also mostly appreciated by like-minded people and organizations!
We're glad to have received the Resolution Fellowship Award in Johannesburg this year!
We're now bursting with the motivation to even go beyond our means to create an inclusive and homely society for all.

Our project lead, Mr Abraham, will stop at nothing! He's part of the Exploratory club at the rural school where he's volunteered as a teacher.
As a facilitator at the club, he teaches the lively primary school girls basic electronics! The girls are so excited anytime they have Exploratory club meetings mainly because they get to practice science!!

We read the Bear and the Crabs, as our first story. In order to ensure that every student understood the story and could share it on their own, we got some of the students to read in English while others translated into the local language.
They have submitted their summaries of the story which they wrote in their own words. Here are some of their works. You could see the effort they put into it and yet how poor their grammar is. We hope to improve this within the shortest possible time.

Our Trash4Ed project has started, hurray!!!. In order to improve English speaking and writing in rural schools, mainly because they take their exams in English, we are recycling used papers from institutions to build the skills of reading and writing. Stories are printed on the unused pages of waste papers from institutions and given to these lovely and vibrant kids to read. They then go home and summarize the story in their own words and submit the following day as homework.
It's very inspiring how these kids are in love with this activity.
