The early years block (for children aged between 2 and 6) at Twedaase School in Tema has seen better days; unsafe uneven surfaces, broken masonry, and wiring in place but no power source.

The two-phase refurbishment over two weeks began with contractors – alongside the Futurestars team –  laying concrete, fixing masonry, and carrying out all the skilled jobs needed to prepare the site.  The children got involved with sweeping and cleaning and classes were moved out to under the trees for the duration.

Thanks to Aqua Africa nine solar panels were fitted and connected to the existing wiring.  Donor-supplied ceiling fans mean that the teachers and children will have light for the first time and they will stay cool too.

Once the buildings are ready staff members from every team in OMA Group will be volunteering across Thursday and Friday this week to clean and paint, paint, paint, ready for the handover back to the school next week.  We can’t wait to see the results.

On July 3rd, the Leaders of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) lifted the economic and financial sanctions imposed on Mali earlier this year. ECOWAS Commission President Jean Claude Kassi Brou told a news conference that the sanctions will be lifted immediately. Borders with Mali will reopen and regional diplomats will return to Bamako.  Read the full story from Reuters here.

Due to its strategic location, Dakar port is the natural hub to serve Mali and before the sanctions, OMA moved regular traffic from Dakar, particularly to the key gold mining area of Kayes as well as the capital Bamako.  We also arrange transit from cargoes from Abidjan port in Côte d’Ivoire to Bamako, Sikasso and Koutiala.

OMA Logistics offers a one-stop road freight solution to Mali for projects, containers or LCL including:

• All border clearance formalities as required
• Customs clearance in Mali
• Clearance and delivery in Mali from Bamako airport

We are delighted that these routes from both Senegal and Côte d’Ivoire are open again.

The shipment was carried on commercial aircraft, arriving on three separate flights.  The OMA Logistics airport team was required to carefully coordinate the associated paperwork with Ghana customs authorities, to ensure that the US Embassy duty exemption for this humanitarian aid shipment remained valid once all three shipments had landed.

With the utmost care and professionalism, our hard-working team at Swissport terminal completed the operations, clearance and delivery in good time to the Ridge Hospital in Accra who were awaiting the supplies and equipment.

Happy clients and great job team.

The OMA Logistics Ghana team arranged the movement of the generator from Takoradi port to Antwerp where it connected by road to its destination in Massa, Italy for the repair works.  Once the work was completed OMA arranged the pick up from the shipper’s workshop in Massa to travel by road to Leige airport in Belgium where it was loaded onboard a freighter aircraft to Accra, and onward by road to Takoradi.

Working closely with our excellent network of global partners meant the journey was trouble-free from beginning to end, across several modes of transport in three countries. The generator arrived back safely and on time for the planned maintenance schedule onboard the FPSO.
