Mampong School for the Deaf

We hustled (3 hours) south back toward the Gulf of Guinea and then west toward Akropong to Mampong to visit the school for the deaf that a system and education were done in June 2022.  The amazing part of this (and the Cape Coast installation) is that the entire health education class is done in sign!

Mampong has 531 children and is a government school - no affiliation to the PCG.  The school has really taken the water system and distribution seriously and is generating about 350 gallons of safe water a week in the first 6 months.   The water room is really a nice set up - Michael and team did a great job with this one.




Our visit was short due to darkness and our need to get back into Accra.

The highlight of the visit were the kids being enamored with Chalmers iWatch.  These kids cannot speak and only can sign.  They had never seen an iWatch before.  They really got excited when I snapped a photo of them (the kids) and texted it to Chalmers and the kids saw themselves on the watch.

GREAT WAY TO END OUR 15 HOUR DAY!!!
