Dear Sir or Madam,

dear club members,

Section 7 of the association’s statutes stipulates that a general meeting must be called at least once a year. The board of directors complied with this on time, within the deadline and in the correct form this year. In the past 2016 financial year, the association’s board of directors held a general meeting on August 20, 2017 in Düsseldorf.

The purpose of the association is to promote education and upbringing through the ideological and financial support of the Midnight Sun International School, Box 79, Walewale, Ghana.

The association exclusively and directly pursues non-profit purposes within the meaning of the section “tax-privileged purposes” of the tax code (Section 58 No. 1 AO), namely by raising funds and donations, carrying out public relations work and advertising of all kinds for the association.

In 2017, we received donations totaling €13,342.43. The total came from 49 individual donors.

In 2017, WSP engineers donated €1,500 to drill a well. There was another 50th birthday for which donations were made. This time, donors donated directly to the association’s account. We transferred €12,214.00 to Ghana in 2016.

There was also a carryover from the previous year of €746.56.

The following projects were financed locally with donations:

– drilling a well

– school fees, school uniforms and school meals

– completion of the Junior High School one classroom

– training for Lamisi Yerrow (Bachelor’s degree program in Tamale)

– repair of the children’s toilet

– two bicycles

– tuition fees for three teachers of €500 each per year

– construction of a new classroom

The costs of €428.92 are made up as follows:

– bank fees €150.01

– postage, donation information €136.25

– IT service €142.66

In 2016 there is a carryover for 2017 of €1,446.07.

From October 22nd – On November 11, 2017, I was there again.

A review and outlook were prepared for all donors from 2017. I am attaching this to this activity report.

If you have any questions about the activities in 2017, I am happy to answer them.
