To say the mission was impactful is an understatement, not only was it transformative for the villagers in Keta and Bendade Anjito, but it was also transformative for our lives.  

In the Volta region, we were let out on foot in a neighboring rural village to safely walk 20 minutes on narrow path in the woodland area, followed by a 20 minute canoe ride in the marsh, to reach a remote island village where all they had was swamp water to drink (with no filtration)— which they shared with the wildlife animals. 
The villagers were spending their monthly income on hospital bills from drinking the unsafe swamp water.  After the STEM ambassadors built the water filtration system the villagers saw a miracle of the contaminated water that was brown and yellow changed to clear and safe water before their eyes. The villagers rejoiced as my eyes along with the STEM ambassadors were filled with tears. The villagers said that they prayed to God, “who would come help them” and He sent some kids from Philly to give them LIFE-- in the form of water. 
Please watch the documentary and share with your family, friends, and on social media platforms: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4AdkN1bRqk
We were able to: 
) Teach teachers and students about the power of technology and using 3D printers to make water filters. 
) Taught teachers and students how to conduct water quality tests, and investigate their water quality. 
) Conduct our air quality test for our data visualizations. 
) Built a library and allowed the STEM Ambassadors and advisors names to be sketched in the front of the library so that our hearts will forever be at the school. 
) In the words of Baba Ira made the Door of No Return “a lie” We experienced the Cape Coast Castle. 
I would like to thank the Philadelphia Eagles for supporting this project, all of our corporate sponsors, and private donors. 
Mama Debbie Toney, for your support and wisdom throughout the planning and execution of this Project. To the advisors who gave of their time, dedication, and knowledge-- Baba Ira and Coach Dev. Huge thank you to the most incredible parents/guardians of the STEM Ambassadors for your continuous support. Thank you Baba Andre and Mama Dr. Imani for believing in the vision, and to the founders and cofounders for your blessings! To all of the staff, administration, and faculty that you for your kind words, support, and presence we felt it all the way in Ghana.
