Kofi Kingston has thanked those who helped him to open an education center in his name in Ghana.
The Kofi Kingston Library and Digital Centre was officially opened on October 13th in the Kwadaso Municipality in the Ashanti Region of Ghana.
Kingston spoke about his hopes for the project as part of an interview conducted in January.
Kofi and his mother are two of the driving forces behind the Computer Lab and Integrated Centre of Knowledge (CLICK) for Quality Education organization. It is a nonprofit that aims to help establish quality computer labs and integrated centers of learning for junior high schools in Ghana.
In a social media post on Monday, Kingston stated:
WE DID IT!
The Kofi Kingston Library and Digital Center is officially open, up and running! And we couldn’t have done it without all of you! It was such a special day filled with excitement, enthusiasm, optimism, and hope.
HUGE thanks to everyone who donated to the @gofundme! Your generous contributions helped make this vision a reality and we are ever grateful for your willingness to give!
Thank you to all the board members of the CLICK for Quality Education Foundation: Elizabeth Afua Sarkodie-Mensah, Leslie Esi Mensah Osabutey, Catherine Woodworth Wong, and Joanna Hadjicostandi-Anang. They, along with several others, all dedicated their time and effort over the years to make this possible.
We have all come together to make a real difference in the lives of Ghanaian children!
And now, into the future we go!
The post was accompanied by a video celebrating the official opening.
