In addition to continuing all of the programs that we began during the first ten years of Brooks’ World Travels, we will be adding two new programs in 2015. The first will be in support of building a cafeteria for children in Ghana. This program will be done with the help of Mr. Frank Adjisegbe, who is from Ghana but now lives in the United States in Westport, CT. Mr. Adjisegbe is a director of Heros Over Seas and is an advisor and international consultant for a number of organizations, including ours. As we get more specifics on this program, we will let you know, however it is remarkable to note here that it is estimated that all we need to do is raise less than $4,000 to build a complete cafeteria to help over 100 children in Ghana. Much of the work will be done by teachers and students, but it will be supervised by professionals. The cost of lumber and supplies is less than 10% of what it would cost in the United States.
In addition, we plan on working with several universities including Fairfield University in Fairfield, Connecticut and MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts to collect and repair old computers. We have raised $1200 to pay for shipping costs of up to 50 computers already and hope that we can send several hundred computers to children overseas in 2015 .
While Brooks World Travels is increasing the types and numbers of programs that we wish to support, we are open to other suggestions, ideas, and support from our local communities. We look forward to any inquiries that you make. Thank you.
