PROGRAM INTRODUCTION

The establishment of The Benson Foundation was stemmed from education with the belief that, education is the fundamental solution to poverty and the development of oneself, the community, and the country as a whole. With that foundation and belief, we have various educational programs available for our volunteers all year round varying from infrastructural to administrative support. Amongst many of our educational programs includes the follow;

This is an annual fair that is fully sponsored by the Benson family for our partnered school(s) through our educational program. We believe in having fun, celebrating, and honoring the teachers and students for all the hard work and dedication that went into the school year before ending the term for Christmas break. This is a fun-filled fair with music, dancing, friendly competitions,debates, talent shows, and as well as, honoring and recognizing students in each stage (grade) for outstanding performance. 

Do you remember how you felt when it was time to go back to school? If so, you might remember going back to school shopping for school supplies. If you remember that feeling you were very fortunate to experience it. Unfortunately, there are kids who have not or may never have that experience.

We want to ensure that these students through our program are fully equipped for the school year because we believe in the power of education. In order to excel for greatness, you must have the proper tools and we want to do so for these students.

So, through this program you can help by donating supplies or through financial support.

Here is a list of some suggested supplies:

Pencils

Notebooks

Glues

Scissors

Rulers

Calculators

Gently used reading books for their library (Pre-K to 12th grade)

We would GREATLY appreciate all forms of school supply donations. 

As much as we want volunteers to participate in our developmental programs, we also host volunteers who solely wish to travel for the cultural and artistic experience of Ghana and may not necessarily want to participate in a specific program. 

Wings of Art is an art-oriented organization which aims in helping individuals to appreciate and experience different forms of art & culture in the most exciting, and colorful way through a life changing experience. With that being said, a 2-week packed itinerary will be given to enjoy and experience the Ghanaian culture through the food, music, people, and history. We will offer you a full week exposure and participation in the most colorful and beautifully rich festival called Fetu-Afahye of the people of Cape Coast – Oguaa. Plus, another week to tour the most intriguing sites of Ghana and all the amazing views/sceneries that Cape Coast, Ghana has to offer.
