FK Buah’s funeral arrangements – Burial to take place on 18 February 2006 in Accra

• TOSA (Ghana) will be printing brochures and plan to collect 25m cedis (200,000 cedis from each old student). Any surplus will go towards his statue.

• The old students in the US have expressed their willingness to join TOSA (UK) towards any contribution. It was decided that £20 each was reasonable with any surplus going into our coffers towards a future scheme. The US old students are to contribute $50, which Sheila Tagoe will be co-ordinating. 

Please make your cheques payable to Tema Old Students’ Association and mail it, as quickly as possible, to Kojo Gyamera, 6 Grove Farm Court, Brookfields Avenue, Mitcham Surrey CR4 4BT. Alternatively please pay directly into the following bank account making sure that the reference includes your name and the purpose of the payment e.g. LydiaOfori/FKBuah. You will need to make Kojo aware (0208 687 1857/07786 162160).
