MARGO'S TRIP TO GHANA

Hi curlers!

On behalf of the girls at the Let Us Shine Academy in Ghana THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone who kindly gave me donations ahead of my trip to Kpandai in Ghana, West Africa.

For all the money that my friends and I raised – Barclays Bank matched it £ for £, bringing the total to £85,000!  This paid for a high school, the girls’ bed and board at the school, healthcare and teachers salaries.

My visit to Kpandai was a life changing experience.  I saw a lot of hardship and sadness which was very difficult.  But there was also a lot of happiness.  Especially when I showed the girls video clips of curling on my ipad and they were skiting about in the dust trying to copy the delivery!

Here are some photos of the girls at work (in my French class) and at play.  Enjoy.

Thanks again,

Margo
