REPORT BY SMITH BAIDOO, SMARTKIDS JUNIOR BOARD SECRETARY

KUMASI, NOVEMBER 2011.

I went to the Joy Standard School this Monday, they are all faring well. Smart kids who are now in form three will be having their school selection before vacation which is on the 8th of December, 2011. Actually there is no problem for them. We have to make a list of schools (grade A, B, C, schools) for them to select from. This time around, some smart kids preferred to choose a school in their village instead of here in Kumasi.
The computer internet courses were organized for the ones that completed Junior High, but not separately for smart kids.(i.e. they have it as a class lesson with other non smart kids)
The group that completed this year has had their school placement. The admission date is already up, but most of the smart kids are not yet in school. Below is the placement list for them.
Maximum marks are 500. So what every smart kid had is out of 500. Addison was number two of all the BECE candidates at Joy Standard School.
Smart kids in JHS 2 are all now in school with their fees paid (term fees, house dues and books) Their report cards have been given to our coordinator. Some we did not receive because we have to go there and get them personally.

The SmartKids Foundation has recently found two major financial supporters, the ASN Bank and ASML Foundation. The funds made available by those highly regarded institutes will be used to support these two groups of smart kids through Senior High School, up to their final exams: www.smartkidsfoundation.nl/the-smartkids/class-of-2007 and
www.smartkidsfoundation.nl/the-smartkids/class-of-2008.

ASML Foundation sponsored our class of 2007 before, all through Junior High School from 2007 to 2009. Now they have decided to help this group once more and of course everyone at the SmartKids Foundation is very happy about that.

Kids supported by the Turing Foundation up till now and by the ASN Foundation from now on.

The ASN Foudation is a new supporter of our organisation; the funds they made available will be used to support the class of 2008. The Turing Foundation supported this group all through their Junior High years and now ASN Bank will do the same for their Senior High years.

The ASN Foudation is connected to the ASN Bank.  A summarized translation of the previous post (in Dutch) about the ASN Bank:

De SmartKids Foundation heeft recentelijk financiële ondersteuning gekregen vanuit de bancaire sector. De ASN foundation van de ASNBank heeft toegezegd een groep van 15 SmartKids te ondersteunen gedurende een periode van drie jaar.

De ASNBank zet zich in om de duurzaamheid van de samenleving te bevorderen en laat zich daar in haar economisch handelen door leiden. Economische groei mag volgens de ASNBank niet ten koste gaan van het milieu, de natuur, kwetsbare bevolkingsgroepen of anderszins worden afgewenteld op toekomstige generaties. In Nederland is de ASNBank sinds 1960 voorloper op het gebied van duurzaam bankieren. De bank is actief op het gebied van beleggen, sparen, betalingsverkeer en duurzame financieringen. De ASNBank heeft bijna 540.000 klanten en een totaal beheerd vermogen van ruim € 10 miljard.

De ASNBank maakt deel uit van SNS REAAL.

In navolging van groepen, die worden ondersteunt door foundations van ASML, Achmea/Eureko  en de Turing Foundation, zal er een ASN bank groep van 15 SmartKids ontstaan, die direct zal worden ondersteunt.

Het bestuur van de SmartKids Foundation is onverminderd op zoek naar organisaties, die dit zeer goede voorbeeld zullen gaan volgen.
