Kaeme
A Message from PK! My experience in Ghana so far has been a challenging and learning one. My patience is tested everyday but I know the importance of the work and that makes all the struggles fade away. I have visited four orphanages in the two months that I’ve been here.

A message from PK!
Our team recently met a 6-year-old boy named “B. “B was born with hypospadias, and was abandoned by his family. He spent his first years of life in an orphanage. B was self-conscious about the physical difference between himself and other boys his age. This might have caused him to be a bit more reserved than his […]

This post is brought to us by Rachel. Every morning I wake up to the salient crow of a rooster, and I find it much more efficient than the morning alarm clock on my phone. I mean, there is no way to snooze or muffle it, is there? So each day here is started with […]
