In the remote village of Adjumani, Ghana, a group of dedicated educators are working to build a new school. The school, called If Built School, will provide a much-needed education to the children of the village, and it will be a beacon of hope for the entire community.

The If Built School project began in 2009, when a group of American educators traveled to Adjumani to volunteer at a local school. The educators were shocked by the conditions at the school, which was overcrowded and understaffed. The children were eager to learn, but they did not have the resources they needed to succeed.

The American educators returned to the United States determined to make a difference. They founded the If Built School Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to building schools in developing countries. The foundation raised money and recruited volunteers to help build a new school in Adjumani.

The school has eight classrooms, a library, a computer lab, and a playground. It is a beautiful and well-equipped school, and it is a source of great pride for the community.

If Built School has made a significant impact on the lives of the children of Adjumani. The school provides a safe and nurturing environment where children can learn and grow.

It has also been used as a polling place for elections. If Built School is a vital part of the Adjumani community, and it is making a real difference in the lives of the people who live there.
