For this post, I'll be focusing on youth literacy in
- 00:13 - 00:14
Ghana and how we can help.
- 00:19 - 00:22
So my uncle is actually recognized for his philanthropy in
- 00:23 - 00:23
schools in Ghana.
- 00:24 - 00:25
They call him Nana Kwame Yeboah.
- 00:26 - 00:29
The first, which means the warrior king of the village
- 00:29 - 00:34
he works for in that village.

He's building classrooms in that village He's donating in that
- 00:43 - 00:47
village. He's building better schools, a new orphanage and a
- 00:47 - 00:52
vocational technical educational center to increase employment and a vocational
- 00:53 - 00:56
technical educational center to increase employment for out of school
- 00:57 - 01:11
students for for individuals who for individual, for individuals who
- 01:11 - 01:15
finished school and for individuals that finish school and need
- 01:15 - 01:19
a job to go for individuals that finish school and
- 01:19 - 01:20
need somewhere to go.

Mhm. Looking at mhm Looking at the average classroom in
- 02:09 - 02:11
Ghana, there's one text book for every 10 students.
- 02:12 - 02:16
There's no computers or electricity, no art materials and most
- 02:16 - 02:17
teachers lack of college education.
- 02:18 - 02:21
There is very high unemployment rates after school, which is
- 02:21 - 02:24
why it's really important that my uncle is building a
- 02:24 - 02:28
technical educational center for the students who pursue careers after
- 02:28 - 02:30
school and have a hard time with them.
- 02:32 - 02:35

- 02:36 - 02:41
the schools don't usually have provided and raises funds for
- 02:41 - 02:44
textbooks and overall education plans.

an opportunity to help and to never be afraid to
