Greetings Fellow Santaclausians and Friends of Adisadel,

On behalf of Adisadel College we are excited to kick off the $5 million Adisadel Capital Campaign in North America as we get ready to celebrate the school’s centenary in 2010. This letter is to solicit your financial support and investment ‘Towards Another 100 Years of Educational Excellence’ at Adisadel College.

As you know, Katanga was built to celebrate the school’s Golden Jubilee in 1960. Fifty years later, the campus and its infrastructure need major renovations and new structures. With the school’s 100th anniversary approaching, it is our turn to do exploits and add to the gains of those who went before us.

Why must we do this? It is because Adisadel matters a great deal. As a provider of quality secondary education, it is a brand of inestimable value throughout Africa; in leadership development, it is a national treasure for Ghana. In the Kuffuor Administration, two of the three branches of the government were led by Santaclausians: the Hon. Ebenezer Sekyi Hughes as Speaker of Parliament and the late Hon. George Acquah as Chief Justice. Moreover, all of our hearts were wonderfully warmed with great pride by the accomplishments of our own Ave Kludze, NASA Rocket Systems Expert and of David Kofi Nyarko who earned 8 A’s on the 2008 WASSE exams and was ranked one of the three top students in all of West Africa. To maintain this tradition of excellence we owe it to our predecessors and successors alike to improve the school for future generations.

In August 2008, the Adisadel Old Boys Association, North America and the Adisadel Foundation created a U.S. Fundraising Committee tasked with the responsibility of raising funds for the Adisadel Centenary Capital Campaign in North America. Please take a look at the Adisadel Capital Campaign Brochure, the information sheet on the Primus Circle as well as a Pledge Form for your convenience. How you can get involved:

 Please complete the Pledge Form (below) and send in your tax-deductible donation. Donations can be made online using the Donate button on this page. Join the Primus Circle   by becoming one of the first 300 people to make a tax deductible gift of $2, 500 or more.

 You can solicit matching contributions from companies, friends, relatives and well wishers.

Fellow Santaclausians and friends of Adisadel, no contribution is too small. We are excited to offer you this opportunity to invest generously ‘Towards Another 100 Years of Educational Excellence’. Please act now.

Floreat Adisadel,

Godfred P. Otuteye,
