On July 26th, 2025, we welcomed 40 young people comprising Volunteers, Assembly member and Unit Committee members for Anlokordzi, The Development and Planning Officer from the Ho Municipal Assembly and leaders from youth organisations across Ho, to plant 200 Trees at Ghana’s 1/

first open park library. We dug, watered, and laughed together as we brought our shared vision of a greener, more inclusive space to life: a place where young people can learn, lead, and grow. These saplings now stand as living promises to: 📚Turn Ghana’s First Open Park Library

Do you Remember the parks we grew up playing in, made lifelong friends, and even met our teenage crush? In Ho, that place was the Children’s Park. If you didn’t know Ho had a park… well, you’re not alone. It’s been abandoned for years. Scrap dealers moved in. Mechanics too. 1/

The fun? Long gone. But we’re bringing it back — and this time, it’s going to be even better. Together with amazing partners (Ho Municipal Assembly, GES-Ho, Love Aid) and you, we’re transforming it into a vibrant youth space. The first phase of the project which is underway 2/

will have: ✔️ Green lawns ✔️ Sandy playground ✔️ A beautiful open-air library with books in English, Ewe, French, and more! Yep. A library, outside, with books in English, Ewe, French, and more! Our goal is to give young people in Ho a safe space to learn, grow, and

and stay away from bad influences, screens, and boredom. Here’s how you can help: 📚 Donate a book 💳 Send a little cash Momo: 0598961657, Reference: Park ID: 834379, Node Eight 📢 Share this with your network #ghanaOpenParkLibrary #ReadPlayGrow #GiveToInspire #BackToThePark

That gut feeling when you make a choice that goes against the grain. Esi knows the weight of consequence. We've all felt this inner alarm. From Ama Ata Aidoo's Changes: A Love Story. #GhOpenParkLibrary #ReadPlayGrow #NodeEight #YoungandSafe #Climate

In many towns across Ghana, libraries are rare and public reading spaces are almost non-existent. Yet access to books shouldn’t be a privilege. That’s why we’re building Ghana’s first Open Park Library, a space where anyone can pick a book in English, Ewe, or French and read 1/

freely, under the trees. Here’s how you can be part of it: 📚Donate a book 💳Support with Momo: 0598961657 (Ref: Park, ID: 834379, Node Eight) 📢 Share this message Let’s make reading as normal as football in Ghana. #GhOpenParkLibrary #ReadPlayGrow #NodeEight #YoungandSafe
