Thee reason they see

This morning I returned from a trip to Ghana. 

(I missed you too.)

I spent almost half of the last ten days without any phone service or internet connection. 

What’s email?

That’s the life for those living in small villages in the Volta Region (a few hours outside the city of Accra).

I did it for five days..

They do it for……………..

But they do have electricity. 

And that alone is a miracle. 

In fact, in this particular village, just a few years ago, there was no electricity.

Not until some members of the family I was with decided to donate poles to the village, enabling everyone to have electricity. 

A few members. 

From one family. 

Gave power to an entire village. 

Imagine..

Your people.

Your tribe.

Your village. 

providing the power that enables them to have a better day.

It was empowering to walk with them and witness their names written on poles that give power to their entire village. 

And even more empowering to walk with them and witness those same names empower hearts.

P.S. If you’re planning a trip to Ghana and/or interested in learning about African culture, I’ll be sharing plenty of stories from my experiences. You can sign up here to ensure you don’t miss any.
