New Beginnings In Ghana

December 11, 2021 by Steve Greene, MD in Blog
New Beginnings In Ghana

I am so proud to share some amazing video and pictures of my recent journey in Ghana last month. Hope for Ghana began its most adventurous project as we began building our third school in the village of Sesime that will provide a kindergarten and primary school with 7 classrooms, library, staff room, access to clean water, solar power, bathrooms and a sewage system. In a community starving for hope and opportunity, this new school is expected to attract 200-300 children. I get emotional watching the video below, humbled by the astounding progress in such a short amount of time, thanks to the tireless efforts of Hope for Ghana’s dedicated and loyal team of masons and carpenters that have worked by my side for the last 7 years and dedicated communal labor.

7 more villages were given the gift of clean, potable water so that women and children no longer spend long hours fetching filthy water. The overwhelming joy as a village receives this gift is unimaginable. The video below from the village of Klokpe is what gratitude is all about.

Apprentice sponsorships were given to 4 more men and women who will now have the opportunity to receive the vocational skills necessary to become a welder, tailor, seamstress and floral decorator.

The hope and joy that I am blessed to witness in Ghana is beyond words. These videos and pictures will give you a taste of the beauty seen every day in Ghana. These are the pictures of hope that you have provided. Our journey is just beginning. A grateful Ghanaian people say thank you.

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
