We couldn’t be more excited to have this come full circle and have WSU come to Ghana. You will be staying on GMAD’s 5 acre campus in volunteer housing, this is also where the school is being built. We are confident that you will enjoy the inclusive, hope filled, and jovial atmosphere at the GMAD home.
We are still seeking funding to complete the school and would love to have your name on it! Would you or someone you know like to donate towards our school?
