Today in Ghana we did a thing and next week well do a thing in USA.

That thing was supporting a local business and giving our Children Ice Cream. Next week we will raise funds during Superbowl Sunday selling Sundaes to help education in Ghana and to fund sending barrells filled with goods to Ghana. #icecream #sundae

AUGUST has arrived and BTAC is prepared to face it with Optimism and Determination.

The Library is a safe haven for our youth in Kumasi and we must rebuild. Our Circle of Friends has began to send books from abroad and we are confident that by end of August our Library will be restored.

SEPTEMBER! Ɛbɔ We welcome you with a smile and unspeakable joy

Education and Leadership is our focus this month. We have visitors from the diaspora who are planning to work with our children and educate them on “Paving their Future.” Please use this month to focus on you and your future.

OCTOBER has arrived, and the season has changed

We have seen more rain in Ghana than usual, and our children are still doing their best and managing their education with limited household resources . BTAC is happy to see growth and continue to water it’s Scholars with the most powerful tool their is education. Education is the only way forward. This month, we will teach our youth about STEM and continue to provide tutors in math& science. October reminds us of all of the importance of supporting education and learning at every stage of life. Remember — it’s not just for children. Gaining knowledge doesn’t have an expiration date. Education and learning are critical to human progress. Witness the journey and be apart of the solution. Donate today and follow our Instagram.

NOVEMBER allows us to see the beautiful life that has been offered to us

We see the state of the world, and although things are not perfect, we are thankful. BTAC has zipped through 2023 with only one more month to go, and we thank God for the continued support and blessings to our Educational Program. Our scholars have learned a great deal this year. However, the most valuable lesson they learned was to be ” grateful.” Oftentimes, we can get so used to taking and receiving that the entitlement can creep in. We challenged our scholars to rise above their circumstances and know that through BTAC and it’s donors that all is possible. BTAC is thankful to You! YES YOU! Because of donors like you, we can provide the best in education, leadership, and encouragement to all who we serve in Kumasi, Ghana.

CLASSROOM RENOVATED AT ATASEMANSO R/C PRIMARY SCHOOL!

The Pontchartrain Chapter of The Links Incorporated recently undertook a renovation project at Atasemanso RC Primary in Kumasi, Ghana. They transformed a classroom from floor to roof; provided 40 student chairs, desks, and a teacher’s table. Today, we gathered via ZOOM to officially dedicate this newly renovated space.

Thanks to The Links Pontchartrain Chapter efforts, thirty-five children now have access to a proper roofed classroom where they can learn without being hindered by rain. This marks the second classroom donated by the Pontchartrain Chapter of The Links, and we are thrilled to see the positive impact it has had on the students, teachers, and community. The gratitude expressed by all involved is truly heartwarming.
