Gratitude Amidst Uncertainty

November 23, 2020 by Steve Greene, MD in Blog
Gratitude Amidst Uncertainty

2020 with all its uncertainty and profound challenges has given us a new meaning of thanksgiving. Incredibly in these difficult days we have seen an outpouring of charity and giving in unprecedented ways.

A global pandemic and social unrest has brought a hunger for hope, a hunger for light in the midst of darkness. I am grateful that Hope for Ghana’s mission has continued on course, bringing hope and opportunity to children and families in Ghana during these most uncertain times.

Hope for Ghana’s Ground Operations Assistant, Senyo, has orchestrated our Coronavirus Crisis Response as Hope for Ghana has donated masks, sanitizers, gloves, washing stations and soap to over 3000 people and 10 hospitals and health centers.

Senyo has allowed Hope for Ghana to provide clean, potable water to 6 more villages in dire need. He is now on his first “business trip,” bringing Hope for Ghana’s life saving mission to 8 more villages in a region never before visited by us, the Brong Ahafo Region. I spoke to Senyo last night as he described visiting remote villages in Africa’s bush, clearly touched by the overwhelming struggles of these villagers in such desperate need.

The story emerging in Ghana is a powerful and beautiful story of hope. It is the story of thanksgiving. I remain eternally grateful to the wonderful donors who share in Hope for Ghana’s mission. You are bringing life to some of the most remote villages on this earth and showing what philanthropy is all about.

I pray that the coming months here and around the world are filled with light and peace, and that you and your family have a joyous Thanksgiving.

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
