Community Members Seek Financial Aid for Ghanaian CGP Student
By WRILEY NELSONSPRINGFIELD CENTER
St. Mary’s Episcopal Church of Springfield Center has organized a GoFundMe page to raise financial assistance for a Ghanaian student who was admitted to SUNY Oneonta’s Cooperstown Graduate Program but who lacks funding. Enoch Bright Ampong, 28, is a museum docent at Elmina Castle, the oldest European building south of the Sahara. He was born and raised in the Central Region of the small West African country, a former British colony with a population of 34 million. He graduated with honors from Takoradi Technical University with a degree in tourism management. Ampong began giving tours at Elmina during an internship semester in 2016.
