Project 2 Dreamland School, Ghana- Project history

The Dreamland School was founded in the 2003 by Pastor James Dugger and Agartha Amponsah with a view to support the orphans and the disadvantage children in and around the Akumadan community, in the Ashanti region of Ghana.

The best way to summarise the project is through the words of Pastor James.

"The increasing number of orphans, needy and less-fortunate children became a matter of grave concern and touched our hearts so much that since the year 2000 we conceived the idea of establishing a school. We then began soliciting assistance to start this noble course which never came until the year 2003 when we began the school on our own with 15 children made up of 5 orphans and 10 needy one.

We view Dreamland School for orphans, needy and less-fortunate children in our community as our modest contribution to mankind. I began the school in a church building hoping to later save or raise some money to acquire some plots of land on which I would put up a classroom block to properly and conveniently house the children, as the number grew.

Currently I have moved the school from the church building to a temporary five-classroom wooden structure."

After six months of email tennis between “Ghana James” and “Brighton James”, some visa getting, and a few jabs the passingiton team 
flew out to Ghana in November 2008 to meet Pastor James, view The Dreamland school and create and agree on a Development plan.
