| Special Newsletter | March 13, 2011 Fire disaster at Baobab Center – Fire destroys 5 buildings of Baobab |
|
| Caused by an uncontrolled bushfire, probably put by hunters to catch some grass cutters, 5 of the most beautiful buildings of the Baobab Center burnt down last Saturday, when only 4 people were at the Center to help. It took the fire service of Komenda (6 km) more than one hour to arrive at the Center. One car from Cape Coast and one car from Elmina arrived at the same time. But it was too late: everything inside the houses burnt to ashes including all our Culture equipment: 30 drums, costumes for the different dances, t-shirts, bells, everything. |

 2 beautiful round houses with each 3 rooms with office equipment, machines, 3 fully equipped volunteer’s rooms, burnt totally down |
It did not rain since December and everything was absolutely dry. Bushfire caused by hunters have been worrying us since we have started building up the Youth Training Center. Rains of ashes were our nightmare and this time it happened. |
 |
We want to continue, nothing can stop us- but we need financial help. Manpower will be provided, but the wood to reroof and building materials to rebuild what our children need to be educated.
The rainy season will start soon and then we are in trouble: the dining hall was used as class room, the children have nowhere to eat, the cooks can’t prepare the food and the Kente weavers can’t work. |
