SCHOOL AIDS TO GHANA   
What started out as a conversation with a parent of one of the children from my daughter’s nursery back in August quickly becomes a reality. In October 2009 I took an advice wrote, to a few schools around Århus for help in gathering their used/old usable school aids to Ghana for the Rural school children who out of lack of these aids do not get to have an education. The response was very amazing and Rofac was suddenly in possession of over 1000 pcs of furniture. One of the schools, Katrinebjerg School offered to lend Rofac space in the schools storage till we were able to export the furniture. In November 2009, Rofac got donations from private people, a grant from Mellemfolkeligt samvirke and with the help of some school children from the katrinebjerg school ROFAC was able to export a 40ft container with school aids to Ghana’s rural children and street children in Accra. ROFAC is very greatfull to all who made this possible........ ROFAC ADOPTS OKANTA PRIMARY SCHOOL 140km EAST OF ACCRA, GHANAIn 2006 a philanthropic young mother decided to open up an avenue for the unfortunate children of Okanta village in the Eastern Region of Ghana, about 80 kilometres from Accra by establishing the Okanta Primary School. It was to cater for well over two hundred kids who otherwise would not have had the opportunity of formal education as a result of poverty and lack of educational facility in a remote cluster of communities of eight kilometre radius. Her vision was to bring education as close to the children as possible and therefore single-handedly took up the challenge to establish a make-shift 4-classroom 130-pupil school in a dilapidated un-cemented floor, roof leaking wall flaking brick structures she financed wholly. Assisted by one other lady teacher, the two provide all the knowledge base for the children. The school provides good grounds for the development of these children even in the face of serious challenges confronting it. Reach out for a Child (ROFAC) heard of the plight of these children, visited and adopted the school to improve the structures and provide teaching and learning materials to enable the school function in the best interest of the children. ROFAC recognises the sacrifices of the founder and is moved by her singular sacrifice and the need to assist these children realise their potential. ROFAC also recognises education especially for the rural child, as a sure means to reverse the rural-urban migration, one of the main visions of ROFAC.
