PATERSON SIMONS WAS HAPPY TO ADD OUR SUPPORT TO UK SCHOOL CIRENCESTER DEER PARK’S GHANA VOLUNTEERING TRIP!
At the end of June this year, students and staff from Cirencester Deer Park School in the UK spend 2 weeks in Woe, Ghana. The students visited local schools in Woe, helping with construction projects and teaching subjects like English, Science, and Art. Afternoons were spent engaging in sports and cultural lessons. The group also visited Cape Coast Castle, where they learned about its history and explored Kakum National Park’s canopy walk.
The trip concluded with an awards ceremony and a final celebration, with students reflecting on the profound experience and expressed gratitude for the lessons and joy they shared with the Ghanaian community. The group returned to Deer Park on July 13th, inspired and proud of their contributions.
From the Deer Park School teachers’ perspective, there was immense pride in seeing their students rise to the challenge of teaching local children and contributing to the school’s infrastructure. The experience also brought a deep appreciation for the resources that are often taken for granted.
The students remarked that the Ghanaian students were some of the happiest they had ever met, and their joy was contagious, with many students saying that they had never smiled or laughed so much on a trip. They felt that it was a remarkable and special experience.
Paterson Simons are proud to have added our support to this valuable experience for all involved!
PORT ELECTRIFICATION – THE CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES OF AN ELECTRIFIED PORT INDUSTRY
Why Should Ports Electrify?
The primary advantage of port electrification is reducing emissions. As part of global efforts under the Paris Agreement, many ports are committing to their own net-zero targets, recognizing that a fossil-fuel-powered port industry will soon be unsustainable.
With tightening regulations and the approach of surpassing the critical 1.5°C global warming threshold, port operators must invest in greener technologies now to future-proof their operations.
Electrifying heavy-duty port equipment such as delivery trucks, straddle carriers, and terminal tractors will decarbonize entire supply chains, supporting businesses and nations in meeting emissions reduction goals.
