Welcome to this update on the work that you make possible at Ahotokurom Leprosy Rehabilitation Centre.
As our friends in Ghana read this newsletter too – we thought that in this edition we might depart from the usual reporting and take time to reflect on what it is that makes the relationship between us in the UK and people in Ghana so special and significant.
We will also report on some of the things that you have been doing to assist the work in Ghana as well as some news from the centre out there!
The sections are listed below - click on each one to read the complete section:
Ghana has elections this December. The country has now had 21 years of peace and democracy – this brings a degree of stability and some chance of being able to develop structures to support those in need.
Our friends in Ghana have asked for our prayers for a peaceful election – they know the stability required for development! All around them are countries at war.
With a bit more effort to reduce (or drop) crippling debt repayments and more of an opportunity for fairtrade policies we can see significant signs of hope. Maybe 75 years from now the situation in Ghana will have changed beyond all recognition too – and we will be able to say that we have played some small part in that!
