Former fellow from Ghana organizes environmental literacy classes
Fulfilling her dream, former UNU-LRT fellow Esther Ekua Amoako from Ghana, has organized an environmental education in her community. In a letter to the UNU-LRT programme she writes: "I had this passion to do environmental education but did not know exactly how to go about it. The lectures in environmental literacy, restoration, and linking knowledge and action, visioning and strategic development as well as the photos in Sagnagardur (children involved in restoration), gave me a sense of direction. Environmental literacy clubs in three basic schools have been formed and launched. I see this as launching a dream".
After Esther´s graduation from the UNU-LRT programme in 2012 she returned to her position as a lecturer at the University for Development Studies in Tamale in the Northern Region of Ghana. She has received great support from the staff of the Faculty of Renewable Resources in her educational efforts with the Ghanaian youth.
