Christ The King Children organization

Together we will stand strong to help needs for the homeless children's at better life's

Children represent the future, encourage, support and guide them.

I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

"We must give more in order to get more. It is the generous giving of ourselves that produces the generous harvest."

"Giving frees us from the familiar territory of our own needs by opening our mind to the unexplained worlds occupied by the needs of others."

Going round educating children in the other village in Ghana

Some 46 million African children — nearly half the school-age population — have never set foot in a classroom, according to the United Nations. There are signs of hope as more African countries eliminate public school tuition fees, but burdens ranging from extreme poverty to the cost of uniforms are keeping children out of class.

Children turn to the streets for a variety of reasons, but most seem to think that a life on the streets will offer them better or safer alternatives than they find in their homes. A census in November 2010 published by the Department of Social Welfare and carried out by our partners CAS and SAID with Ricerca E Cooperazione, identified that there were 61,492 street children in Accra, alone.

The North of Ghana is incredibly poor, and children, particularly girls are unlikely to even see the inside of a classroom simply because there are not enough facilities to accommodate them and their parents can not afford to send them. Girls travel to the streets of the southern cities in the belief that they will earn enough money to return home and either go to school or use the money as a dowry to be able to get married. The reality is quite different, children work for extremely long hours doing heavy labour, and are only paid a few pennies for their troubles. They become trapped in a cycle of living hand to mouth, girls frequently fall pregnant, and they are often unable to return home or access any form of education.

This children in my community needs help is their education and other helps.

This happens in some part of Ghana.They don't have good water to drink.

A brief history of thinking about informal education. So where did informal education come from? Who are the key thinkers? How does it relate to other ways of describing education?

I approached my placement in Ghana with Engineers Without Borders in summer 2011 with an open heart and an open mind. One of my observations was that there was a stark contrast.
