STACAN Supports Young Fusena After Troubling Ordeal

In a heart-warming display of community solidarity, young Fusena, a victim of maltreatment by her stepmother, has received a generous donation of GH₵ 1,200.00 to further her education. The donation was facilitated by STACAN (Standing Against Child Abuse and Neglect), an organization dedicated to child welfare and advocacy. The troubling situation came to light when Abdul Wakil Yahaya, a concerned member of STACAN, reported Fusena’s case to the organization. STACAN promptly launched a social inquiry, which revealed the extent of the maltreatment Fusena had endured. As a result of the findings, her biological parents took immediate action to regain custody of their daughter, ensuring she was removed from an abusive environment. Fusena’s return home has been met with relief and optimism. Her parents, recognizing the importance of education in securing a better future for their daughter, have committed to sending her back to school. In a show of support for Fusena’s academic journey, STACAN has donated GH₵ 1,200.00 to assist with her educational expenses, including tuition fees, school supplies, and other necessities. “This donation not only provides financial support but also sends a strong message that our community must always stand against child abuse and should be committed to nurturing the well-being of our children,” the STACAN  representative stated. He emphasized that, “Every child deserves the right to a safe environment and access to education, and STACAN is committed to support Fusena on her path to recovery and learning.” The initiative has garnered widespread support within the community, inspiring others to take a proactive stance on child welfare issues. Local residents are encouraged by STACAN’s efforts and are eager to contribute to initiatives aimed at protecting vulnerable children. Fusena’s story serves as a strong reminder of the ordeals children face and the critical role communities must play in safeguarding their futures. With the financial support and encouragement from STACAN, Fusena can look forward to a brighter and more hopeful future.

STACAN Trip to Kakum National Park

On September 28, 2024, STACAN started on a tour to Kakum National Park known as “The STACAN DAY TRIP”. The purpose of the trip was to allow all STACAN volunteers to become acquainted with one another while also having fun. Kakum National Park, located in Ghana’s Central Region, is a biodiversity hotspot with stunning natural beauty. As we set out on our trek to this magical place, we couldn’t help but feel excited and anticipatory. Our group left early in the morning, anxious to explore the park’s rich woodlands and diverse fauna. The travel from Accra takes around four hours, meandering through picturesque roads and lovely communities. As we approach the park, the air became dense with the lovely aroma of tropical flowers and the sound of chirping birds. Canopy Walkway Adventure When we arrived, the park’s welcoming staff greeted us and informed us about the park’s history and guidelines. Our first stop was the renowned Canopy Walkway, a 350-meter-long suspended bridge that reaches 40 meters above the forest floor. The canopy walk was delayed by around 20 minutes due to rain.   As we got onto the boardwalk, the breath-taking views of the surrounding forest astounded us. The gentle wobble of the bridge added to the excitement, making us feel as if we were soaring over the treetops. It was terrifying, as you had to summon all of your military courage. Kakum National Park serves as a shining example of Ghana’s conservation efforts. The park’s dedicated staff works tirelessly to keep the forest and its residents safe from logging, poaching, and habitat loss. Our guide presented stories about community engagement and educational activities, emphasising the park’s dedication to sustainability. In addition, the gallery/museum showcases wildlife and forest objects in a stunning style. As we regrettably said goodbye to Kakum National Park, we were appreciative for the unforgettable experience. The park’s breath-taking natural splendour, combined with its diverse wildlife, left an unforgettable impact on our hearts.   Related Posts Positive Parenting – Some Effective Strategies to Promote Responsible Parenting What Bullying Does To A Child
