The Missions Journey is to Africa!

Introduction

My name is Barry Euquan Knighton and I am a graduate of the Abundant Life Academy in Hardeeville, SC  and a graduate of the University of South Carolina with a Bachelor’s Degree in History.  In May 2017, I will be graduating with my Masters of Social Work Degree from the University of South Carolina.  

The Experience

The purpose of this service-learning missions project is to provide hands-on social work experience in Accra, Ghana. We will be working with vulnerable children, adolescents, and their caregivers using psychoeducation and training activities, as well as, one-on-one and group interactions  in contexts of home, school, and play.  This is being recommended by the University of South Carolina's College of Social Work and sponsored Projects Abroad in General Care Projects.

Partnership With Me

Would you partner with me on this amazing journey? Monetary contributions will be accepted in the amounts of $10, $25, $50, $100 or any amount. If you desire to sow, know your contribution is for a worthy cause.  Also, we do plan to purchase supplies (toiletries, art supplies, school supplies, etc.) for the children and caregivers. As you sow into in me, you are investing in the lives of at-risk children. What a privilege and honor! 

Thank you in advance for your help!
