Lakeland Educ Initiative

Lakeland Educ Initiative Lakeland Education Initiative GH runs the GREEN READING CAMPAIGN. A director of Lakeland Education is in South Africa on a project.

It is a pro-environmental youth advocacy organization that uses education through Reading to create/raise awareness of social issues affecting the youth of Ghana, and Africa at large. The idea was muted in October 2012 by Acquilla Djaba, a young Ghanaian environmentalist who is passionate about the Galamsey (illegal mining) menace in Sub Saharan Africa.

Formerly founded a year ago, Lakeland draws on inspirations from South Africa which has the same realities of mining as Ghana and whose model we are currently understanding.

THE BEST WAY TO TELL A STORY IS TO LIVE IT.
However, this is not to be when it comes to the perils of mining. No one must wish even his enemy to dabble in a shoulder-high, snake infested mud sometimes underground all in the such for gold, or diamond, or other gems. Surface mining in Ghana has been comparatively safe for older miners, but not the frail, young, diminutive ones, aged 10 to17. Sometimes even girls

When it comes to tackling young miners in Ghana one model also comes up: the Randburg case in South Africa. In that project former miners were used to serve as mentors. Government sponsored programs in this areas have yielded little results. Studies had shown that young miners were more likely to participate in anti illegal mining campaigns that featured former miners, reformed gang members, local 'cult heroes.'
