Yesterday was a special day for me and my family. We had a ribbon-cutting ceremony and dedication of a brand new primary school in Ghana I funded along with @pencilsofpromise. I dedicated it to the Abomayaw community and to my mother. God is good.”

According to local Ghanaian radio, children had been relegated to studying outside beneath the trees or in a shed. With the opening of the Abomayaw D.A. Kindergarten, kids can now learn rain or shine.

Lil Jon has been working with Pencils of Promise  since 2012.
