Just weeks after my recent journey overseas, tomorrow I return home to Ghana, as Hope for Ghana begins a new exciting chapter, taking our commitment to bringing hope and opportunity to new heights.
We are thrilled to begin our new adventure in the Northern Region, launching the building of our fifth school, Benjamin’s School of Hope, in partnership with Benjamin Benefit Foundation. And our biggest library and computer lab project for 1500 students at a cluster of 3 elementary and junior high schools will come to life, thanks to the immense generosity of Brother’s Brother Foundation.
We are ready to provide access to clean water to 8 more villages in the Volta Region and Eastern Region. And thanks to Brother’s Brother Foundation’s incredible pharmaceutical donation, our Mobile Medical Outreach initiative will bring desperately needed medicines to some of the most underserved villages.
Last month, Sankofa African Network awarded me the Public Charity Award, and in a few weeks I will be the proud recipient of University of Vermont College of Medicine Alumni Association’s Service to Medicine and Community Award. In Virginia my remarks were simple. “Today this award is dedicated to every child in Ghana and around the world with hope in their heart. It is dedicated to every boy and girl that goes to bed and dreams, prays and yearns that tomorrow will be better than today. There is indeed hope, today and every day. There is indeed hope for Ghana.”
Those awards are less about me, and more about the amazing people that surround me and allow my vision to come to life. Together we bring hope every day to the most remote villages in Ghana. Your generosity is forever transforming lives in the most vulnerable communities. Ghana, I’m almost home!
