 Dr Daniel Acheampong, a faculty member of the Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU), has donated desktop computers to two orphanages in Ghana.

The donations were made to Ris­ing Star Home in Dodowa and Good Shepherd Home in Ofankor.

The gesture was aimed at signif­icantly improving the technological infrastructure of the two institutions and equip them with essential tools for learning and development in an increasingly digital world.

In an interview with The Spec­tator, Dr Acheampong highlighted the significant role that technology plays in shaping the future.

Dr Acheampong emphasised the significance of adapting to and leveraging technology to unlock new educational and professional oppor­tunities.

He shared inspiring stories of how technological skills could lead to meaningful societal contribu­tions, reinforcing the potential im­pact these tools could have on the children’s lives.

Ms Victoria Samson, Leader and Founder of Rising Star Home, said they were deeply moved by the donation.

She expressed gratitude to the donors, recognising the transform­ative effect these resources would have on the children’s educational journeys and future prospects.

Ms Samson pledged to effectively utilise and maintain the technology, ensuring it would provide lasting benefits for the children’s develop­ment.

The initiative is supported by Ms Tracy Wermelskirchen, FGCU’s Procurement Card Manager and the Lutgert College of Business.

“By equipping both orphanages with these crucial tools, the ini­tiative will not only enhance the children’s learning opportunities but also sets a powerful example of global collaboration and impact” she added.
