Following their last location visit into the community, the Grade 8 class of Tema International School have been organizing their thoughts through critical thinking to come up with projects that will ensure mutual benefits.
After much deliberation within their specific teams, different project ideas have been realized and approved. In order to kick start the process of community project, individuals who are engaging with Save Them Young Orphanage paid a visit to the home on Friday, 18 January. The main purpose of the visit was to sit with the care takers of the home and investigate the happenings at the home in order to be more aware of what and how to reach their respective goals. 18 students accompanied by 6 teachers had a fun and educative time with all the members of the home, asking questions, reaching out, engaging and playing with the kids.
In turns, each team sat with the caregivers to delve deeper through investigation about the situations concerning their project. The people at the home were very accommodating and excited to learn about the various projects underway.
