Solomon's relocation to his new home at Ashanti Bekwai Infirmary

Solomon, better known as Solo, is the very first child Beacon House accepted. His sweet face and gentle demeanor has been a constant through the years. He has grown up in front of our eyes. He is no longer a small child, but rather a young man. His needs have outgrown what Beacon House can successfully provide.

It is with mixed emotions that we, with the assistance of the Department of Social Welfare, made the decision to find him a new home. To meet Solo's unique requirements, the Ashanti Bekwai Infirmary has taken him into their care. This was a belaboured and arduous decision. With heavy hearts, we relocated Solo just last week. Join us in prayer for Solo. All of us, adult and child alike, will miss him dearly and pray for a happy new chapter in Solo's journey.

Special Christmas POOL PARTY...

This year we had a very special Christmas party ....a POOL PARTY. Thank you Anna and Judy for hosting us. The kids (and staff/adults!!) had a very fun day.

Hurray!!! It's here again --- the great seasonal play by the International Players of Accra. The kids were once again invited to see the dress rehearsal of "Beauty and the Beast". It was very exciting and there was lots of laughter.

Excursion to Shai Hills Resource Reserved...

Last Friday was full of excitement as we had an excursion to Shai Hills
Resource Reserved - just outside Accra. Our trip was adventurous as the children not only saw animals, such as, antelopes, baboons, green monkeys, ostrich, zebras, and bats but also had to climb (using ropes because of the smooth rock surfaces) the Mogo and Sayo hills. Our knowledgeable guide gave us a history lesson of the area.


To get to the top, you need to climb holding a rope since the rocks are smooth.


Rope climbing is FUN!!!


Don't look down....

The little ones made it... phew.... it was hard work.





The rocks are smooth.... 'easy to slip down.
