To begin with, thank you to all our wonderful 2013 SSL volunteers.
We rely on you in countless ways. You have all been amazing and inspiring and somehow made the summer pass ridiculously quickly. Those of us who work with GHEI full time know the impact of what we do. We see evidence of it every day. Supporting the community is always a part of our daily focus.
To some degree, we get used to it. But when you come in, and we see the way you react and the awe in your expression, it reminds us of the extraordinary importance of our work.
There has been a short radio silence on this end. We were exhausted and took some much needed rest. Now, we’re back. And with our new found motivation and energy, we are going to hit the ground running.
There are almost too many new exciting things happening right now at GHEI. In an effort to keep track of them, here’s a quick run-down of what you should know about:
1. #STARTARYOT Challenge: We’ve partnered with Ryot News and are taking part in this year’s 5-week fundraising challenge to see how much we can gain. Check it out, spread the word and donate if you can. Let’s see how much we can raise together!
2. As part of the challenge, we’re also fundraising for our scholarship program. Senior high school in Ghana is not universal and the required tuition fees are often extremely difficult for families in Humjibre to afford. GHEI fundraises and offers scholarships to give deserving students the opportunity to continue their education. I will be posting more about scholarships in the next couple of weeks as we move toward the September 15th fundraising deadline.
3. We've just published our Annual Report and will be creating new promotional materials. For a beautiful overview of all of our organizational goals and programs in the last year, check out the 12-page report covering June 2012 through May 2013.
4. Summer Serve and Learn 2014: If it’s possible to top this year’s SSL programs, we are going to do it! We’ve had so many positive experiences this year. We are reflecting and carefully evaluating - the good and the bad - and will be rolling out improved programs for 2014. Stay tuned to learn more about them and the role you can play in the coming months.
To our volunteers, friends and supporters: thank you. Writing this, I’m overjoyed to be part of all these things. Thank you for making them possible.
