Marfo Children Care Foundation

On our last day in Ghana we visited the home of Ms. Adwoa Yeboah-Marfo, a woman with great passion for children in need. Her foundation is named after her late husband. She is an amazing woman who turned tragedy of losing a husband into triumph by helping the children of Ghana. Her home is not a foster home or orphanage, but a permanent home of love.

She is a radiant woman with energy and her faith is beyond reproach. Her many stories of how God has blessed her family in time of need and provided for them is truly remarkable. Please take the time to go to her website and read her story, it is very insiprational. If you are looking for an oppourtunity to donate, look no further. If not, she humbly welcomes your prayers.

Final Reception

While we were at Cape Coast, I developed a cough and cold symptoms, perhaps a low grade temp It hasn’t held me back much but I am being a bit more reserved. When we arrived back in Tema at the hotel, we showered and freshened up and were off to our final dinner/reception at Dr. and Mrs Narh’s home. They are such exceedingly gracious hosts! Perhaps we get another hint of Ghanaian influence in the USA, Southern Hospitality! We met Uncle Joe the banker, John,the teacher and local leader of Help is on the Way, Katherine, Charles’ doctor sister,and of course, our new dear friend, Kobbi. Presentations of laptops were made to him and a student that Help is on the Way is sponsoring . After that we were treated to a performance by a Ghanaian Drum and Dance troop; then a sumptuous dinner of Fish, Chicken, vegetables,Yams,Plantains, Joloff and steamed rice, and wine. More toasts and blessings and another round of spectacular drumming and dancing during which some of our group—most notably Tina, joined in! We were were then sent off with hugs and fervent invitations to return to “our new home” Ghana, West Africa. After returning to the hotel , we packed our bags and this morning while I stayed to gather my strength, Tina and others went to visit an orphanage and children’s home and make a presentation of school supplies and clothes.
