It’s hard to believe that after months of planning, I take off for Ghana tomorrow with my friend, Malaak Rock, founder of Journey for Change: Empowering Youth Through Global Service. What makes this trip different? Accompanying us our 5 amazing kids from Brooklyn, NY, who will be paired with 5 kids from Touch A Life Ghana for an incredible week of education and service! It amazing to think that the Journey for Change kids – all descendants of slaves—will be standing in the gap for kids on Lake Volta who are still enslaved today. Both Malaak and I stand for the same things when it comes to influencing the lives of at-risk children and are looking forward to sharing many photos and video with you of our special journey. So stayed tuned March 5-14th as the kids (both US and Ghanaian) will be blogging about their experiences firsthand – you won’t want to miss it! This trip will be especially meaningful for me as Tatum will be joining the group. Also, we are really hoping to complete the Village of Life School while we are there, so please check out how you can assist us by purchasing the final items for the school rooms – we’ll even personalize them! I never dreamed I’d be typing the words “…completing the Village of Life School” and it is all because of wonderful supporters like you! God Bless and I’ll look forward to sharing with you from Ghana!
