Every summer, I travel to Ghana with a lot of young people from the church I attend; and I do missionary work and work towards the vision that the head Pastor has: Which is to build a city, full of houses, churches, establishments for the less privileged people who live in Ghana; as well as raising up youth to be leaders. It's titled: ‘Operation Future Leaders' it's a scheme targeted at young people who were once in gangs, drug dealers, hopeless and lost.. and what this initiative is meant to do is to take them away from that kind of life and put them back on the right path.

You can see the progress on Facebook; just search for operation future leaders
But why I want to raise money is for the funds during the trip; to buy food so that we can take it to the underprivileged areas of Ghana, for resources to build-as of now, they are in the process of building schools, churches and houses for orphans, and for people who are at risk of losing the place they are living in.
I've been there once already, and it's amazing to see how different life is out there. And it's such an amazing feeling to do things for other people. We plan to go in August, and it's such a great opportunity for young people to see that there is more to life than just chicken and chips, free travel, free water-they get to see another whole side of life.
Thank you for your donations; large or small they are all welcome.
