Week 10 started with extension of core program at St. Nicholas Basic School at 10am where we took the pupils through “Health, Social and Soccer components” using football as a tool which we had a good turnout. The team returned to the office unabated to conduct team meeting to plan for the week and as well track progress of work done so far.
Tuesday the 1st of December 2015 was World Aids Day as well as International Volunteer Day. Volunteers headed off to the center to partake in the Aids forum organized by Play Soccer Ghana. Immediately after the forum, Dora and Joe presented their Active Citizenship Day on the topic “Human Rights” where they gave us breakdowns of human rights and our roles as volunteers to promote each other’s human rights. It was an engaging topic which sparked discussions among team members.

Thursday was rather a calm one as our second event was postponed due to some arrangements from school authorities. The team regrouped and went back to the drawing table to go through the presentations for the event again and as well plan for Abro and Adaklu visit and our trip to Kakum National Park.
