We are deeply saddened to share that our student, Nene Nettey (P4), passed away this week at the Government Hospital in Nsawam. Nene fell ill with a fever while at school. His parents were called immediately and took him to the hospital, where he later passed. The cause of death remains unknown.
To honor Nene’s memory, we have paused our usual activities, including the Halloween celebration. The students understand and have joined together to grieve and support one another. Our team visited the family to offer condolences and respect during this difficult time.
In accordance with local customs, Nene’s classmates and teachers gathered at the school as the family brought the casket, wrapped in beautiful Kente cloth, for a final farewell. The children and teachers sang heartfelt songs of goodbye, expressing their love and sorrow through song and tears. As part of tradition, Nene’s name was called three times during roll call before being formally removed from the class list—a powerful moment of remembrance and release.
Losing a child is an unimaginable loss, and our hearts go out to Nene’s family, classmates, and teachers. His joyful presence and kind spirit will be deeply missed by everyone who knew him.
We will share more information as we learn it, but for now, we ask that you keep Nene’s family and our school community in your thoughts and prayers.

Our students had an unforgettable experience visiting Kotoka International Airport!
They got a firsthand look at what it takes to travel the world—from learning about airport security procedures and the importance of safety checks to seeing how passengers check in and process their own flight tickets.
The highlight of the day? Meeting a real flight attendant who shared what it’s like to work in the skies!
For many, it was their first time inside an airport, and the visit sparked big dreams about where education—and maybe a future passport—can take them next.

They had a wonderful time, even on some very hot days. And thanks to a little creativity, these trips also help us stock up on essential supplies. The “admission fee” for each child? 3 rolls of toilet paper, 2 bars of soap, and 1 bottle of Dettol.
It’s a fun way to make sure we can keep our shelves stocked with the sanitation products our school community relies on every day.

While some seniors enjoyed a field trip to the University of Legon Bookstore to read up on their future careers in medicine, others in P4 took turns reading to Madam Kathleen.

Our students marched in front of the President of Ghana on March 5 to celebrate Ghana’s Independence Day.

Our JHS students took environmental action for their community!
They designed and distributed flyers to local market vendors, encouraging everyone to take responsibility for keeping the area clean. The students also met with the Assemblyman to raise concerns about the large, toxic pile of waste that continues to threaten the community’s health.
Vendors already pay a daily fee for trash removal, so the students asked an important question: Where is that money going?
To push for change, Joy2theWorld’s Project Manager and President met with the Assemblyman to negotiate support for removing the existing waste. Financial assistance has been offered, but it is contingent on the Assemblyman completing a clear plan for both clearing the current pile and managing future collections.
For now, we are still waiting, but we’re proud of our students for speaking up and leading the way toward a cleaner, safer community.

Combining engineering and technology, KG2 created a battery operated lamp.

This is the Basic 2 Class display using recycled items for other purposes. This wall hanging, a gift to Madam Kathleen, decorates her home.

In a country with minimum power at home, all eyes were on the display by Basic 1.
