The three imperative events, Cultural awareness day at St. Vincent de Paul Day Care, workshop for formal education beneficiaries, and welcoming of a group of students from USA were hosted on Friday June 7th, 2024.
The fifteen (15) Virginia Commonwealth University students pursuing programmes such as psychology, mental health and Information Technology in relation to social service, arrived at our drop-in Centre/ administrative head in the morning on Friday. After welcoming them to the organization, they were taken through the vision and mission of SCA, our history in brief and the people we serve/ target group. Then we went to some vicinities in the central business district to interact with children in street situations.
In addition, we hosted a section of our beneficiaries in formal education support at the drop-in center. The students, numbering over twenty-five (25) were engaged in a full day workshop under the theme: Cultivating good habits for academic excellence. 
The workshop was aimed at inculcating good morals which would result in improved academic performances among them. We highlighted issues pertaining to their conducts in school and at home. Also, child right abuse and human trafficking. The Kumasi chapter of Youth Ambassadors Against Human Trafficking was also launched. Snacks and heavy meals were provided to all participants during and after the program.
Furthermore, a historic cultural day event took place at St. Vincent de Paul Day Care, our preschool unit at Abinkyi in Kumasi. The event was organized to portray the rich Ghanaian culture. Traditional apparels, local delicacies and kingship of tribes across the length and breadth of Ghana were displayed.
In attendance were dignitaries like the queen mother for Abinkyi traditional council, the Ashanti regional coordinator of Catholic Education Unit, and parents of our pupils were also present to cheer the kids.
All these programs were highly successful, and we are heartily grateful to Adamfo Ghana, Misereor, Wilde Ganzen, Conrad Hilton Foundation and all other partners, who continuously form our backbone to serve people in street and other vulnerable situations.
