GAA Queen calls for help for the Cape Coast Children
Donation protected
In the heart of Cape Coast, Ghana, where the Atlantic whispers ancient stories to the shore, a tale of hope struggles to emerge from the shadows of poverty. At its center stands Vivalee Hoyen, a Jamaican woman whose journey has led her to an unexpected role and a heart-wrenching mission.
Vivalee's life took an extraordinary turn when she was enstooled as Naa Boafoyena of the Mpese Royal Family in Ghana.
This honored position made her a GAA queen responsible for Diasporans, overseeing land sales and guiding those of African descent returning to their ancestral homeland. But it was in the eyes of Ghana's most vulnerable children that Vivalee found her true calling.
In the dilapidated classrooms of New EBU Methodist Basic School, Vivalee witnessed a reality that shook her to her core. Here, education wasn't just a challenge – it was a desperate fight against overwhelming odds. The school, meant to be a sanctuary of learning, had become a shelter for the hopeless. Children, some as young as five, didn't just come here to learn – they came to survive.
As the sun sets each day, while most children return to their homes, many of these young souls remain. The school's crumbling walls become their bedroom, its hard floors their only mattress. In the dim light of dawn, they rise, using a single outdoor tap not just for drinking, but for their morning wash – their only chance at cleanliness and dignity.
These children, with dreams as vast as the African sky, face each day with empty stomachs and worn-out uniforms. Yet, in their eyes, Vivalee saw an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, a flicker of hope that refused to be extinguished by their circumstances.
Moved beyond words, Vivalee took action. She began pouring her personal funds into the school, tackling its most urgent needs. Clean water, nutritious meals, school supplies, and fresh uniforms – each small improvement felt like a drop in an ocean of need, but to the children, it meant the world.
Vivalee's efforts have breathed life into dull walls with fresh paint, creating an atmosphere that whispers of possibilities. Each renovation, each meal provided, each uniform gifted is a message to these children: "You matter. Your dreams matter. Your future matters."
But the needs run deeper than one person's resources can reach. Having given all she can, Vivalee now turns to the global community with a plea that echoes the silent cries of these children. She reaches out to anyone who believes that every child, regardless of their circumstances, deserves a chance at a future.
New Ebu Methodist Basic School stands as a symbol of both heartbreak and hope. With your help, it can transform from a mere shelter into a true haven of learning and growth. Every contribution, no matter how small, has the power to change a life, to light up a young mind, to feed a dream.
Vivalee Hoyen's story is one of unexpected paths leading to a profound purpose. It's a testament to the power of compassion in the face of overwhelming need. Now, she invites you to join her in this crucial mission. Together, we can rewrite the story of these forgotten children, transforming tears of despair into tears of joy and hope.
Will you answer the call? Will you help Vivalee paint a brighter future for Ghana's most vulnerable children?
