Clive first visited Ghana in 1995 with a group of fellow Baptist ministers from London, spending the week preaching at Buokrom Baptist Church, Kumasi, and made good friends with Pastor Albert Donkor. On his return to the UK, Clive helped the church to gain funds to finish the roof, and encouraged them to start a pre-school in the church building during the week.

DOUBLEDAY EDUCATIONAL COMPLEX

Some of Pastor Albert's church members working in London re-established contact with Clive in 2006 and Clive was surprised to learn that the pre-school, which had now grown to become a day school, had been named The Doubleday Educational Complex, following the African tradition of honouring those who contribute towards the establishing of a project.

Clive subsequently helped secure funding from Mission Care to expand the school buildings and toilet block so that more children can be educated, and this work is in progress at present. The ground floor of the extension is completed and is in use, but the upper floor is unfinished.

The following items are still in need of funding in order to complete the project:

• £5,000 to finish the upper floor with flooring, windows, electricity and plumbing

• £1,000 for school furniture for the upper floor – chairs, desks and blackboard

• £5,000 to purchase a school minibus
