Textbooks Africa rang in the New Year with a shipment of school supplies, including totes, math and reading books, coloring books, and coloring utensils to Pre-Kindergarten children living in Buduburam refugee camp, Ghana. Buduburam refugee camp, a camp just outside Ghana’s capital city of Accra, was setup in by the UNHCR in 1990 as a result of the First Liberian Civil War. The camp has provided refuge to many thousands of victims of this conflict and other conflicts, notably the Second Liberian Civil War and the Sierra Leone Civil War.
If you didn’t catch our Facebook post on this recent shipment, you can find pictures we took on distribution day. The shipment targeted a school for disabled children in Buduburam. There to receive the supplies was Joe Worthington, pictured below, who has been working with these children in Buduburam for four years. Joe partnered with Textbooks Africa in ensuring the school supplies arrived and were distributed safely.
