In August 2008, around 40 Explorer Scouts and Leaders from Cambridgeshire, Harpenden and Wheathampstead
are travelling to Ghana in West Africa. During the 6 week long project, the Expeditioners
will be working alongside Ghanaian Scouts, to install computers in local schools and build a Scout and Community Centre near
the town of Hohoe in the Volta region.
To achieve this goal the Explorer Scouts need to raise a total of £125,000
to cover the purchase of a 1 acre site, building materials, tools, tents, safety
shoes, and the hiring of local craftsmen to assist the Scouts. Scouting plays an important role in the education and development of young people
across Africa. In providing a place for Scouts to meet and Leaders to be trained,
Project Meridian 08 aims to support the future opportunities of young people in
the region.
If you would like to help us then your donation through the Just Giving website would be marvellous - the Scout Association pay all administration fees so all of your money and the tax you have paid goes to the project.
Many thanks.
