I ask you, please read: to understand my reason for helping children and many young Ghanaians to attain a better standard of
education, education means life...
You can save a life, yes, You too save a life now...
I will also introduce the Non-governmental organization Directors and those involved in our network who will ensure that the donations
you make will generate the very best return for those Children and
Students in Ghanaian Schools.
By assisting these students they will help their President, Atta
Mills, to advance their country beyond its current 3rd world status.
By whatever name he goes by Professor John Evan Atta
Mills, Fiifi Mills,
Uncle Fiifi, or the "law professor", he is a known quantity. He is known to be decent and caring, disciplined, peaceful, tolerant of divergent views, hardworking and above all
President Atta Mills is someone who can be counted on to do the "sensible thing". He is an accomplished man who has made invaluable contributions to Ghana in his eight years as the Director of the Internal Revenue System, his four years as Vice President and more importantly as someone who has taught, nurtured and inspired generations of professionals, including lawyers and others in Ghana. He is used to working with youth,
recognizing talent and using them where they are most needed. What many do not know, however, is that the Professor abhors injustice, including the abuse of power and like the typical lawyer, or professor, he is not easily swayed by emotional arguments, but is willing and able to change his views when presented with compelling
arguments.
President John Atta Mills has many challenges ahead and he is the first to admit
it.

To the doubting-Thomas's President, Atta
Mills has to continually demonstrate his independence of mind, analysis and decision-making.
Above all, he works tirelessly to help reform the National Democratic Congress, strengthen party structures and endow them with the means to promote the best parliamentary candidates,
institutionalize democratic decision making in the party, whilst continuing to build his own constituency of like-minded activists within the party and open up
the party to fresher and newer blood.
This is a challenge that President, Atta Mills
welcomes.
My personal involvement started when I met Dennis Assem (26) as a Skype contact. He lived in his own
accommodation and was employed by his father some years back to complete their accounts. His father ran his own business prior to having cancer, which lead to his early demise.
(Denis attended paid schooling in his teens)
Dennis has a brother, Christopher, who is currently in school with the intention of qualifying in Business Studies. Felicia (51), their mommy passed
away, leaving the two brothers as the last in line, with no living relative.
The usual way in Ghana, like many 3rd world countries, is that those who have a business will employ family first - this is one reason why twenty three million are living on the streets and there are only four million working and housed.
There is no structured National Health System, or Social Security, consequently there are no 'hand outs', or other allowances, to help feed, or clothe many.
As a disabled man I know how lucky we are to live in a structured democratic country. I have taken a great interest and listened intently to Dennis and Christopher in order to understand how 3rd world people live.
I hosted the HolidayAfrica site name prior to the near death experience that Dennis has recently undergone.
(details follow)*
Felicia
as I mentioned, passed over early in April 09, having suffered a collapsed kidney, the average life span of a Ghanaian lady being 48 to 57
Dennis took his mommy to a local clinic, who diagnosed her short future and she passed away within a week.
Felicia asked myself, mr_robin, as I am known; if I could take care of
Christopher, Felicia's youngest son, as she knew he could not survive if left to live as one of the street
people.
I said I would do this with Dennis' help. Felicia was then at peace when she left to join her husband Sir James Assem in their afterlife.
Dennis suggested Christopher should attend a school in Tema,
in England this would be known as a 'Finishing School', or 'Boarding School
or College', where he would be taught a trade. (as Dennis was)
The people who live in housing and come from a working family will normally be paid for and then employed within their own family, however, I funded the 330 cedi, or at the time £97, for his first year
in school.
Christopher is a boarder at the school where he will be fed and looked after during his teens
while he is learning his trade. If he is lucky he may meet his future wife there, become a family member and
be an employed family man.
My accountant, mentor and good friend, Mr. Keith Allen, is also a director of
HolidayAfrica.net, together with my true and caring friend
Dennis Assem.
Dennis brings much local knowledge to our Charity organization. He is a Twi/English speaking man who knows the situation first hand and will ensure all funds are placed where they will do the utmost good.
Dennis is to stay here as my carer and will travel back to Ghana three times a year to take the vegetable seeds and conduct the necessary charity work.
Christopher will be his right hand man, helping, as required, to teach the importance of vegetables as part of each child's diet.

Christopher can tell of the problems his brother Dennis has experienced with malnutrition through his not knowing the requirement to eat vegetables with every main meal, ideal if eaten twice a day. *Dennis had a 'near death' malnutrition problem…
Like a great many Ghanaians Dennis was, as he thought, a healthy African man, used to walking many miles, as required, in extreme temperatures and living on their prime food, boiled rice.
He ate properly once a week, if rich enough, rice and stew being a favorite of his back then.
I decided, having known the Assem family on Skype for close on 3 years, to ask
Denis to visit this country to possibly take up the position of caring for me,
being disabled,
I find I am losing more of my abilities as time passes and I am getting older.
I, therefore, asked Dennis to travel to Accra (the capital) and apply for a visa to travel to the UK. He decided to start early and walk the twenty odd miles there and back!
A far greater distance than we would think to walk in a day, especially when the temperature is over
100º
Dennis completed this task and arrived home by 7pm that Friday night. I contacted him on Skype as usual and he told me what he had done that day, but he also said that he was very tired and had stomach pains so he was going to sleep it off and then would contact me in the morning.
I waited the next day, waited again on Sunday with still no sign of Dennis on line.
I started to worry with no way to contact him. I did not know any of his friends so I waited hoping I would hear from him soon.
Monday morning came and I received a call on my mobile from the clinic Dennis had taken his mommy to, apparently the Doctor there remembered
Dennis had a friend called mr_robin and had found my number in Dennis' mobile. I was told that
Dennis had collapsed in the night and had been brought to the clinic after neighbors heard his cry for help.
After a considerable period of time whilst recuperating at the clinic, being cared for and helped by the Doctor,
Dennis left and made up his mind to help many, myself included, as I had paid for his medical treatment
to give him a second chance at life.
Dennis and I know the almost impossible task it is to find employment without having a family member in business.
We have jointly established a future for Christopher, God willing.
All that remains now is a future for Dennis.
Dennis is a devout Christian who attends Church every Sunday, usually about 6am, where he prays until about midday,
he then rests in the afternoon, returning to bible reading in the evening. This is normal for a large number of the working population in Ghana. Another leading faith practiced there is Muslim.
Sunday for the Christian is a day of worship, a day when you have the opportunity to thank God for his blessings.
Dennis will return to Bible reading often during the week too, he knows there are many things in his short life to thank God for.
Dennis, being a very caring and genuine young man, is very wise to the scammers that Ghana is famous for. I ask; who can blame them for trying to live, trying hard to survive, whilst not knowing where the next mouthful, let alone a meal, will be
found...
Scamming is the expression we have put to people in the 3rd world who are just begging for some assistance, the smallest sum we can donate
WILL without doubt save a life - One pound here may buy a
cup of tea in a café, in Ghana it will give 2.3 cedi, enough to provide one with food for a day.
Where will you spend your next pound?

I hope to arranged for Dennis to live here as my carer,
this will also give him the opportunity to earn an extra income maintaining my Executive Holiday House, which
I let-out out
for Holiday Breaks. Please surf www.holidayengland.co.uk
Whilst Dennis stays here he wants to attend night school in order to gain some professional advice
& further training in 'Caring'.
This would complete both my desire to help many in the 3rd world and ensure that I can continue to offer the pleasure of
an 'Executive Holiday Break' in Sunny South Devon.
May God bless you for taking concern to reading this…
The objective of this NGO is to help with the fees of those children and young students
at school in Ghana whom spend much of their evening out on the streets, looking for
food... (while they should be studying) ...
Many Ghanaian family will find the money to school their children whenever possible, but there are
some who are not able to afford the necessary food too.
These children and young students have to resort to selling water on the streets. or carrying goods on their head in the market, with hope that they may be able to eat that night,
