One of our first outreach volunteer teachers, Rebecca Howes, picked up bracelets to sell at her family reunion. Good luck with the sales!

This year's Basics Kit Campaign was nothing short of amazing with over $9600 raised and 410 kits distributed to needy students. A big thanks to every single person who contributed to make this the most successful, ever!

If you made a donation in March, April, or May, your charitable donation receipt was emailed to you today.  Thanks for your support!

Oh, what a long day!  Linda and Abraham took the trip to Accra via trotro and got a whole lot of shopping accomplished!  Abraham negotiated the best prices possible for the goods that make up our Basics Kits (the album is coming very soon) and they also got loads of bins to store and protect all the text books we purchased!
