A school in Hemel Hempstead has been working with schools in Ghana to support the community and create employment opportunities.
Longdean School has been linked successfully with Fast Track College (Senior High School) and Bedomase Methodist Junior High School, Agona-Ashanti, Ghana, for 13 years.
Over the years the school in Hemel Hempstead has received funding from the British Council, from fundraising by students - including school walks, non-uniform days and fundraising events - and the Schools Co-operative Society has supported the work through publicity and funds.
The school has conducted eight reciprocal visits over the years and the next visit is planned for post-pandemic times in order to open the new school building for Fast Track College.
