  • My name is Mabel Aku. I am 5 years old!

    Mabel said all of this in a strong, bold voice for a 5 year old who had never spoken in front of 400+ people before. The year was 2010 and it was the first “official” graduation ceremony of St. Paul’s preschool in Akramaman village. They had gowns and diplomas. The parents were so proud and…

  • We are on our way!!!!

    All photos by Debi Frock Well, the day has arrived and we are sitting at the airport waiting for our flight.  So far United has assured us that we will get to Dulles–from there, who knows  Plenty of prayers are with us. I thought you might enjoy a look at us today in our Ghana…

  • Our Final Day

    By Zach Neumann This is my fourth trip to Africa, third to Ghana, and fourth to Kakum Forest and Elmina Slave Fort. Africa, Ghana included, is the most beautiful place I have ever been. God’s creative imagination is so evident here; everywhere you look, the fingerprints of our Creator can be seen. I am terrified…

  • Happy Birthday!

    Following Becki’s post for today are many, many photos.  Please scroll down. How is it that a person who considers herself to be a home body, with a well defined mission serving a most wonderful church in South Riding, Virginia, who hates to fly, finds herself celebrating a second birthday in Ghana? The answer is…

  • Notes from the guys

    For Ian Mueller this is his second trip with Ghanaian Mothers’ Hope to Ghana.  I asked him what has been your favorite part of the trip this year: “So far my favorite part of this trip has been seeing the same children who attended camp last year. It has been so fun playing soccer (football)…

  • SAMUEL’S DREAM AND MY HOPE –BY GAIL HUBER

    Today I woke up in my own bed in Virginia Beach, but all day my thoughts have been filled with the children from Akramaman who were in our reading camp. I especially find myself thinking about Samuel Kasum. The first day of camp Zach and I gave an informal assessment to each child so that…

  • CALLING ALL PRIMARY TEACHERS–YOU CAN HELP IN AFRICA

    I have been working with children in Ghana for the last six years.  They are so eager to learn but are often held back from learn because of the lack of supplies.  Tomorrow we will dedicate a new Primary School.  St. Paul’s is a public primary school administered by the Anglican church.  Ghanaian Mothers’ Hope…

  • LOVE–FOUR LETTERS THAT CHANGE LIVES

    LOVE is such a powerful word.  The image of love is powerful as well.  The mother with her child and the grandma with her grandchildren immediately warms my heart. Love also comes in many other forms.  For children here in Ghana over the last week it has come with big hugs, encouraging words–even words they…

  • OUR FINAL DAY – READING CAMP DAY 5

    I do not know where to begin.  The last day of reading camp.  The last day of fifty village children smiling and laughing with us.  The last day of little ones looking up with their deep brown eyes saying “wo mii…” Hold me” and older ones throwing their arms around us ansd holding our hands.…
