Longitude

Longitude's work in Ghana starts with Meshach Bondzie who began his non-profit secretarial school called PROFESA in Abeka, Ghana in 2000 because too many young adults in his community were forced to drop out of high school due to the rising cost of school fees.
LONGITUDE is a non-profit organization based in Providence, Rhode Island, devoted to supporting the work of PROFESA and thereby improving the lives of their clients. We are dedicated to the work of these leaders of educational and human rights initiatives in the hopes of achieving change from within the community.

    • Thank you for the comments and the GL. We shot about 26 hours of footage and this spot was put together as a brief preview for a meeting that Longitude had last week with a local funding agency. The non-profit Longitude www.golongitude.org was started by my good friend Shawn and his wife and my partner Jessica Jennings and I volunteered our time and resources to go to Ghana for 10 days to produce this for Longitude. We are working on a more complex, layered piece that will have more detail and interviews (current & former students and employers). I will keep you up to speed on its progress as we move forward with this piece.
      Thanks again,
      John L

    • really good story. there needs to be more pods like this, informing us of things in far away places. some interviews/points of view from the students might make it more diverse and have more of an impact.

    • Well...I don't think you'll be needing my help getting this on tv will you. GL anyway.

      I'm so glad it's not some other bloated belly, flies in the face piece. Thank you.
