Sponsor An Apprenticeship And A Future

August 2, 2020 by Steve Greene, MD in Blog
Sponsor An Apprenticeship And A Future

This is Godsway, the most hard-working and motivated young man you’ll ever meet. Never educated a day in school, he is starving for a future. The son of uneducated parents who are subsistence farmers, Godsway has never been given an opportunity to create a future, and is part of a cycle of poverty that is so prevalent in villages throughout Ghana.

When I met Godsway over a year ago as part of the communal labor that was so vital in building Hope for Ghana’s second school, it was apparent that all Godsway needed in life was an opportunity for a future. Impressed by the amazing potential of this 18 year old man, I promised Godsway a way to fulfill his dream of becoming a mason.

Hope for Ghana has sponsored a 3-year apprenticeship for Godsway, providing mentorship from Master mason, Samuel Agbanyo. In 3 years Godsway will be a Master mason, able to abundantly provide for himself and his family.

It costs only $500 to sponsor an apprenticeship! That includes all 3 years of apprenticeship, tools of the trade, and a graduation party including provision of soft drinks and a goat. Yes, you read that correctly!

Thank you so much to the Pittsburgh Area African Professionals Organization (PAAPO) who made a generous donation at Hope for Ghana’s Charity Golf Outing to sponsor 2 more apprenticeships for young men and women who will now be able to create a future for themselves as masons, seamstresses, tailors, carpenters and leather makers.

Join Hope for Ghana in creating hope and a “tomorrow” for young men and women throughout Ghana who simply need opportunity. You will change the lives of young men and women forever. One life at a time.

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
