In Ghana  S.K.E.P. is being represented by the following people: Oluu Mahama (director) I live in the north of Ghana and I study marketing. I have worked for a long time at an orphanage in Tamale, where I helped young children at school. I have been willing to do more for these children for a long time and S.K.E.P. gives me the perfect opportunity to do so.     Mahama Safianu   I joined S.K.E.P as a volunteer in November 2005. Before joining S.K.E.P I worked as a volunteer for a community radio station. During that period I developed a lot of interest in voluntary activities. One day I met Oluu Mahama , who invited me to come and have a look at S.K.E.P. and its activities. I realized that it was a great organization and after a while I decided t join the organization. I am very enthusiastic about the project and want to do a lot more for my  little brothers and sisters.       In the Netherlands S.K.E.P. is being represented by the following people: Jolanda van Erkel (chairwoman) In the Netherlands I work as a teacher for a primary school where I teach the children of the last grade. I have had a passion for Africa since I was very young. Therefore I went to Africa after my studies, to work as a teacher in Ghana.  The Ghanaian culture has got me in a grip since.    Sandra Peters (treasurer)   I have always felt myself strongly connected with Africa and therefore I have already visited Ghana twice. Among others I worked at a project with a aim to help the underprivileged youth  Because of this my interests were raised for the people, the country and the culture.
