This is the school we visited on our trip to Ghana. It is in the fishing village where Kofi and CompaAfricare along with Kingdom Cares International is organizing a fund raising campaign to help start the 1st phase of the orphanage home. They expect to raise 20,000. That is such a little amount that can have such a huge profound influence on the lives of so many in Ghana....
When we visited this school we were struck at how positive the kids were to be able to go to school... and they had so little. Look at the mud floors, the old benches some of the kids had... It reminded us of a barn... a barn where children go to learn ... imagine if they had a real building that housed them, they would be able to eat nourishing food and get medical help when they are sick. They would know that someone cares... someone wants to help them. It would have an everlasting affect on the people in this very poor village if you can help raise the funds for this orphanage.
I was recently at a Carol Kent conference at my church. She was excellent and encouraged greatly. Her son has been incarcerated for over 11 yrs now for commiting a murder. She shared what a loving and accomplished yg man he was and then he killed his wife's former husband and now her only child serves life without parole in a Florida prison. She spoke of her pain and then shared she knows we all have pain and agony that we live with....She did not want to minimize anyone's pain ... but it became very clear to me during her talk that all of us have pain but all of us there have someone to share our pain, grief and loneliness with.....But an orphan does not. They have no one who cares, no one who will hold them when they are crying, no one who loves them for who they are, no one who will wipe their tears away, no one who will help them if they are abused, no one who even cares that they die.... and certainly no one who visits them. Of all the ladies at the conference and there were lots of women there - they all have at least someone....PLEASE IF YOU CAN THIS SEASON HELP TO START AN ORPHANAGE FOR THESE CHILDREN IN GHANA...then they will know someone cared.
I know even just a little will go a long way here.
