March 6th is recognized as Ghana’s Independence Day. In 1957, the Ghanaian people celebrated the end of colonial rule in their country, as they were the first nation in sub-saharan Africa to do so. On their very first Independence Day, Queen Elizabeth of England sent a message to be read to the people of Ghana. In it she said, “The hopes of many, especially in Africa, hang on your endeavours. It is my earnest and confident belief that my people in Ghana will go forward in freedom and justice.”

Flag_FreemanThis year, we are holding onto that hope and celebrating on March 6th – but for a slightly different reason. Come alongside us as we celebrate the Touch A Life children’s independence and freedom. Join us in rejoicing over the fact that these children are truly independent, free from slavery, and celebrate that they have been rescued and given a loving place to receive rehabilitation.

It is your involvement that ensures a bright future for each child in our care. Our Global Family continues to support Touch A Life as we expand and grow, from the help we received to build the Touch A Life Care Center in Kumasi, Ghana, to the funding that was donated towards replenishing our day-to-day operating fund. The children are absolutely thriving – they are learning, healing, and growing. They are attending excellent schools, and eight of our teenage boys head to boarding school in the fall. Our team is honored to be a part of the movement toward freedom and justice that is continuing in Ghana. Happy Independence Day!

Make a donation toward Touch A Life’s work to help end modern-day slavery.
