Ghana Planetarium Science Project

Ghana Science Project is very grateful for the donation of Astronomy books by the Education & Public Outreach Unit of Cornell University (USA), who ran a book drive to facilitate our astronomy outreach efforts. Nancy Schaff, Education & Public Outreach Coordinator, led the effort from Cornell.

Astro Book Drive was founded by Thilina Heenatigala (Sri Lanka Astronomical Association) and Prof. John T Clarke (Boston University) in September 2009. It is a global initiative working towards fulfilling a very important role in the development of astronomy education worldwide. The imbalance in science resources of all types between the developed and undeveloped world has made it very difficult for developing countries to keep from slipping even further behind as science and technology accelerate in the countries that are historically stronger in these fields.
