The Power of Networking

The boyfriend of a friend of my niece has a friend whose father hunts in and knows the people of Dabanyin, a village about 11 miles west of where we are currently residing in Ghana.

Abraham the Hunter introduced us to the Queen Mother (female chief) and the village elders of Dabanyin; we met with this Dabanyin family/council four times.  We shared our plans for a new children’s home, and we were able to give Ironman watches to two of the village elders and a Ghana Make A Difference quilt to the queen mother.  They were fun meetings full of smiles, handshakes and photos.

On August 4, the Queen Mother of Dabanyin formally donated 24 plots of land (5.5 acres) to Ghana Make A Difference for the building of a new orphanage home.  The land is a perfect fit, really.

• Beautiful 600 x 400 foot parcel of fertile soil (room to build, run, play, and farm)
• Surrounded by pineapple farms
• Clean ground and clean air
• Just off the main highway
• Immediately adjacent to an elementary and junior high school that was recently refurbished by USAid
• Electricity and water
• Supportive community
