Back in Ghana

After 2 years CPA equipment people are back in Ghana. The 3 of us went to Pigs Farm, bus/tro-tro place, and met up with Veronica, one of the participants on the Cerebral Palsy Africas's 2009 APT course. We went to her house and saw her daughter who has cerebral palsy.

Veronica showed us how well A is doing in the cardboard standing frame she has made

Richard(from Hampshire) and Anna(from Australia) with A - the house is very small and packed with items including Veronica's APT work

After a lot of chat about her work making chairs and standing frames for Annet and other children over the last 2 years, we went to see the new development that is to help with the space problem Walking from the house to the new container bought with the help of MOSS (Move On - Seed Support), a small Christian charity helping people who have a specific need where a small grant will make a difference to helping them move on in life and useful enterprise

Veronica's newly acquired workshop for helping children with disabilities in Accra, is being beautifully prepared for action. So much work has been done to get it ready. Concrete slabs, are on one side and the back for some extra work space and also on the front. Then she has caged in the front so it all locks safely. Inside the container is lined with cardboard sheets on walls and ceiling. The cardboard lined walls and ceiling lightening the inside of the container



Well what else could a true enthusiast use?!


Veronica, delighted to have a space to increase the good work!
