In December BMW Munich (Germany) donates two engines. Both 3-Litre Biturbo engines equipped with direct fuel injection will be used for training at the Ghanaian-German Vocational School. By means of those engines students can learn, how modern engines work and practice to repair those. This support of BMW will increase the value of the education in Ghana. We thank the department EA-801, which provided the engines.

dSPACE GmbH donates EUR 5000

Alexander Jordan — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 19:21:01 +0000

The greatest donation by a single person or institution until now has been made by dSPACE GmbH. Located in Paderborn, Germany, the company is mainly a supplier of technology for customers in the automotive industry. DSPACE regularly sells used computers etc. to its employees. The raised money is put into charitable purposes. So we received Euro 5000 in February 2009. This considerable amount of money is needed urgently, to process the further development of our school. So we were already able to purchase new sewing-machines for the practical education in tailoring. The major part of the money will be used to put up lavatories for the 50 pupils. The structure is supposed to be completed in summer of this year.
