Feels Great To Reach The Top

March 24, 2018 by Steve Greene, MD in Blog
Feels Great To Reach The Top

The second phase of building Hope for Ghana’s first school in the remote village of Gakpokorpe has reached a new height. I returned from Ghana a few weeks ago, blessed to witness the roofing of Mason’s School of Hope. The core structure of this new school has been built by masons, carpenters, electricians, a plumber, welder and an entire community that has contributed to building a future for the children in this beautiful village.

Work will be ongoing over the next several weeks as electricians provide the wiring for the future electricity for the water pump at the worksite and the entire school; carpenters create the ceiling; and masons plaster the entire building.

This is what dedication and commitment from Ghana looks like when every person on your team shares a vision for a better tomorrow for these children.

These are the children and families of Gakpokorpe that inspire my mission (click on pictures to enlarge them). These children are the future of Ghana. They are our future.

And this is a taste of the tireless commitment of Hope for Ghana’s team. They are the blood, sweat and tears of this mission, and I am so proud of their faithfulness and generosity.

To the Pittsburgh community that donated clothes, shoes, bibles, vitamins and so many other gifts, know that a grateful community is overjoyed and thankful.

I am already counting the weeks until I return to Ghana at the end of August to complete this exciting project and formally open Mason’s School of Hope. The most beautiful part of my most recent trip is still to be told. Stay tuned for a new dimension to Hope for Ghana’s vision!

Inspirational Feedback

You are changing lives with your love and your hope and your financial support. Your life and their lives will never be the same again. And truly if you touch the heart of one person for one second and make a difference in their life, your life had meaning. I feel that if you look in the face of someone "truly" in need and help them in any way, even with a hug or a kind word, you are never the same. And I do believe that is our life's purpose. God is happy with you. You are doing all he asks of us and with kindness and gratitude. He is who we please when "whatever you do to the least of my brothers, you have done unto me." -Michelle Locke, Pittsburgh, PA

Thank you for your role in restoring faith in humanity. -Noorah AlSabah, London, England
_________________________

Reading each email nearly brings a tear to my eye. Not only the benevolence that you have bestowed but the passion that you have to do more makes you truly a humanitarian. Thank you for continuing your tireless work but also for proving that there are great people in this world doing amazing things for others. Too often that is lost among the stories of prejudice, hate and tragedy. To the people of Ghana, you are saving lives with each drop of water, textbook and block of a schoolhouse. -Aaron Salyards, Pittsburgh, PA
_________________________

When kids prefer to run to the library during a school break instead of playing with the other kids, when kids are willing to sit on the floor to read in an already overcrowded library during that break, then you know that Hope for Ghana is doing exactly the right thing in that community. -Christian Haasen, Hamburg, Germany

What a magnificent job you are accomplishing. I can't believe what has been done in the weeks you were there. This is why we are here and you have really been inspired to carry on with this work. God bless you and I do pray for you every day that God continues to enlighten you and protect you in this most beautiful project you have undertaken. The children seem so grateful they have Uncle Steve. God bless you and may he hold you in the palm of his hands. -Dee Paiano, Pittsburgh, PA

Thank you for sharing the pictures and videos. Your speech was very touching, sweet and straight from the heart. What you are doing is amazing. Not many people are able to help out as much as they would like to. Thanks to your efforts, you've made it possible for others to help out where they can too. Hope for Ghana is a way for others around the world to pitch in and make a difference for the kids of the future. Thank you for all your hard work. -Ezgi Muderrisoglu, Cork, Ireland

Wow!!! Seeing the pictures, the smiles, the work being done, the bracelet, is extremely touching. It is absolutely incredible what can be accomplished in such a short time when faith, hope and love are involved! -Susan Chikalla, Pittsburgh, PA
