We are continually working with the people of Tapko Village and we are now fundraising for an educational project which will happen at Wa Polytechnique in Wa Ghanna July 2010.

The goal is to increase lines of income and develop sound agricultural practices.

We are proud to say that on this past Easter weekend Gifty's husband, Wayne Dunn, made the trip to Tapko to deliver the school supplies that we held a fundraiser for over Christmas.

Wayne spends time in Ghana for business reasons and took time out of his busy schedule to make the 700 kilometer trip to Tapko to present the supplies himself.

Pichon Haiti students & families after the earthquake in January....

Haiti is on everyone's mind, in their hearts and prayers these last days-it hardly seems possible that barely two weeks have gone by since the devastating earthquake shook this small nation, destroying lives, homes, roads, and damaging even more.

Given that Partners has been working for quite some time in Haiti, we thought we'd like to share with you what we've been doing, what we are doing right now ("on the ground," so to speak, even though that ground has been shaken so severely) and what we hope to do in the future.

Jazz/Blues musicians Paul Mowbray and Tracy Mills are putting their music where their hearts are--in an effort to raise awareness (and funds) for a Women's Grassroots economic initiative in Ghana.

Victoria performers and songwriters Paul Mowbray (guitar) and Tracy Mills (violin) deliver compelling original acoustic music. Drawing from lyric-based folk, timeless blues, Pac-Rim funk, and classical sensibilities - their music moves and changes.

Loving the stage, Mowbray and Mills perform Friday with their Circle of Friends Band (Kelby MacNayr, drums and Stephen Ogden, bass). Together since 2006 - they’ve played regularly in the Victoria area, taught hundreds of lessons, and lead dozens of workshops.
