Help us Reunite Children with their Families

Greetings Family & Friends,

In December, we’re taking a long awaited journey to the Motherland, together. We will be participating in a Service trip to Ghana, Africa with the Obey Foundation & Harmony Health; a non profit organization committed to providing programs and resources to individuals and organizations supporting youth and community wellness. 

We know there is no better way to travel and experience West Africa than in the spirit of service. This is something we have always dreamed of doing and we are grateful we can finally make our dream come true. As far as the trip, we’re fine. However, we are seeking help for our service work. Each of our fellow travelers have been charged to perform a service to the community hosting us. We have committed to raising funds to support Social Welfare transportation services. This service reunites children with their families; after having been separated due to human trafficking.

In Ghana alone, more than a quarter million children have been orphaned due to AIDS. About 80% of the human trafficking in West Africa are of women and girls, and 50% are children! Over 4,000 children are trafficked in Ghana each year. At-risk children and their families are often unaware of the dangers of trafficking, believing that employment and better lives await them in other countries.

The Obey Foundation has been supporting the community in Elmina, Ghana, since 1998. The Foundation and Harmony Health support the village of Elmina in many ways one of which is by being a Safe Haven for rescued children and helping to reunite them with family members after they have been rescued. So, here's where we need your help. While in Ghana, we will work directly with Social Welfare Agents to arrange transportation to reunite these abused and abandoned children with their families. Transportation costs can be very expensive. We'd like to make a significant contribution of at least 3,000 dollars for this cause. 

We hope you will help. We only have a small window of time to meet our goal. No amount is too little. Please find it in your heart to give to this worthy cause.

We can do this together! I can’t wait to share pictures and stories about how YOUR SUPPORT HAS CHANGED LIVES!
