Hello Dr. Obadele,
My name is Kiaski Donkor, we met a year and a half ago at Legon, while I was having a meeting with Prof. Esi Sutherland-Addy. We talked about my Ananse storybooks and comics. We launched the Kickstarter campaign yesterday.
I want to first, thank you for introducing me to Hayford Siaw of Street Library Ghana. Because of that meeting I was inspired to pursue this Kickstarter campaign. I also developed a relationship with Hayford and we're working with Street Library Ghana on this campaign.
The Kickstarter campaign is to finance the creation of a gaming app called Ananse's Well Rescue. The game uses math questions and Adinkra symbols to solve puzzles and help Ananse who has gotten himself in a bit of trouble. This project uses Kmtyw culture and art to create something both educational and culturally vibrant. Apart from the game we also have storybooks and comics based on our version of Ananse. They will all be available through the campaign. We will also be giving Street Library the game and some of our books once the campaign is successful, to benefit the children they work with.
Here is the link to the campaign:

If you could check out and share on social media and with your contacts, that would be great! Appreciate all the support we can get.
I've also attached the press release for your use. If you need anything else, please don't hesitate to ask.
Thanks in advance.
