What is the Village School Project (VSP)?
The VSP is a partnership between ECG and CIM Canada in providing a school for children in the northern rural regions of Ghana. The purpose of the VSP is to ensure the children are receiving an education that can improve their quality of life and choices. As a Christian school, we nurture the children spiritually, training them in the knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Who are we?
The village schools began upon the request from the community to the local church--the Evangelical Church of Ghana (ECG). Seeing that many children were "wandering in the bushes," as the locals would describe it, the church and the rest of the community gathered to start these schools. This is very much the story for each of the six schools that we are currently supporting.
In 2010, Chinese International Missions (CIM) Canada continued their five-year partnership with ECG by joining their Village School Project (VSP). With teachers selected from the community by ECG, CIM is working to share their stories with others, to send people to Ghana to lead programs and workshops for the students and teachers, and to send various resources to the schools to help with learning. In all that we do, our hope and desire is to live out our faith: demonstrating the love of Christ in our words and deeds, and sharing the greatest and only gift that is lasting and has eternal value--the Good News.
