Background

In January 2020, Holy Child School had fewer than five functioning computers for more than 1,800 students. The previous lab (sponsored by the 1988 year group) had become a classroom, and the program moved to a new building on campus.

HOPSA USA-Canada secured windows, installed air conditioners, and donated 10 desktops and 5 laptops in March 2020. HOPSA 1975 sponsored electrical wiring in 2019–2020. In mid-2020, Barbara Boamah and Abena Boampong (Class of 1996) led a fundraiser at $500 per PC to complete renovations and expand capacity.

Work completed

Walls were repaired and repainted; broken floor tiles were replaced. Seventy-eight government-provided desks were installed.

Oct 2020 — 20 desktops, projector, speakers, APCs, and stabilizers delivered
Mar 2021 — 16 additional desktops and accessories; 46 PCs total

Each monitor bears donor name(s) — a lasting tribute to those who gave.

2023 updates

After the 36-computer expansion, roughly $10,000 raised during the March 2021 Virtual 75th Anniversary Celebration supports ongoing maintenance — window tinting, annual antivirus updates, and optimal machine performance.

Future plans

Beyond ICT classes, HOPSA USA-Canada now offers one-on-one student mentorship. We need additional computers and accessories (cameras, etc.) to grow the mentorship program.

Your continued support helps Holy Child students learn, connect, and thrive.
