Here is a budget that is more realistic than my previous one. The prices are still difficult to determine as I am basing many of the prices from the quotes I received in Accra, Ghana rather than the actual location of the site around Kumasi.
Also, if you want more information about the Non-profit organization that is heading the project visit: http://www.nkafoundation.org/
Current development since my return from China in March:
- I am currently working on a redesign of the building. There are several potential difficulties I've been pointed out and there is a continous editing process I am going through. I rearranged the loft to be at the height of the balcony/roof so that the shorter wing would be subterranean. A subterranean room feature would prove useful in the humid weather of Ghana and would save work with wall building.
- I working on a website that could more articulatly describe the project at large and my role in it. Also it would be a place for donors to contribute more accessibly.
- Grant writing. Dealing with frustration, disappointments and the victories.
