WHH Scholars Undeterred by Torrential Rain
June is the wet season in Axim, and since everyone walks to school, attendance is a challenge. In spite of the sometimes torrential rain, WHH scholars are attending the nearest school, Manye Academy, daily. It's a short walk through the jungle, with a small stream to cross. The twenty children are residents in WHH's Children's Home. Ghana Together helps fund their support. They are catching up academically, are receiving after-school tutoring, and are enjoying the many books and learning materials provided by Ghana Together's friends and supporters.
