One of the members of the Wanderlust group, Kwame Peprah has said there they were excited to have completed their Accra-London road expedition.
On July 23, the Wanderlust group, which is made up of twelve men and one woman began a 10,000-kilometre road trip from Accra to London.
The 16-day trip was completed on August 6 when they arrived in London amid much fanfare.
Speaking on News 360 on TV3 Sunday, August 6, he said that “We are elated, we are excited to have completed this. Fortunately and thankfully, there were no accidents, no chaos, no cars broke down, nobody felt sick, nobody was kidnapped.”
Another members of the Wanderlust group, Kwabena Ayirebi, has revealed the motivation behind the just-ended Accra to London road trip.
Speaking to TV3 News on Saturday, August 5, he said “I came to know Edusports through my daughter. What Edusports does is, set up these low-cost community-led, libraries that provide resources to children in the rural areas of Ghana. So far, Edusports has set up 50 centers across the country.
“The key takeaway for us is the fact that throughout these areas there is very little technology if anything at all, so we are hoping to raise this money to equip all these centers with basic technology like tablets.”
He added “Effectively, we want to bridge the digital divide for children in the rural communities of Ghana.
“That is the immediate intent and it is the wider strategic intent of even taking this to a wider level, where under the steering of Mr. Richard Anim, we are looking to see if we could raise a one million dollar digital catalyst fund that would equip primary schools in rural areas with digital centers as the world moves into an AI age.”
