| The purpose of this
non-profit organization is to improve the
educational environment for children in
underdeveloped nations, including but not limited
to, such rural villages as Otwetiri (Ghana) and
Tsiviepe (Togo). The immediate goals of Otwetiri Project are to raise funds to build a desperately needed primary school house in Otwetiri, Ghana and to establish and support literacy programs in the village. The project also aims to provide educational incentives through sports and to foster an extended family relationship between Davis and these rural West African communities. |
||
|
The Davis community has been both verbally and
physically active in the support of the Otwetiri
project. Interest and support has been generated
through public speaking engagements and through
articles in the Davis Enterprise written about
Tometi Gbedema’s effort to improve the educational
environment in his boyhood village of Otwetiri. |
