On 16.12.09 a representative of TAC visited Ghana and delivered basic provisions to three orphanages in Bawjiase a rural district in central Ghana. The Royal Seed home, the Good Shepherd orphanage and the Countryside orphanage. The items provided included sacks of corn, rice and sugar, bars of soap, washing powder, toothpaste, toilet rolls, and sweets for the children. These orphanages were selected after a feasibility study carried out in October 2008 indicated, that out of the places we visited these were the most in need.

In October 2008 a representative of TAC visited Ghana. The purpose of the visit was to identify specific areas of need while establishing links with schools, orphanages and voluntary organisations. We visited 3 schools and 4 orphanages, and the Junior Arts Club. Some of these were located in and around accra, and others in the central region of the country.
