Starting next Thursday lives will change for the good in Ghana, Africa. Our joint team with Kids Helping Kids will no doubt be deeply touched and changed forever as we participate in the delicate process of rescuing, rehabilitating, and reintegrating 10 innocent children sold into slavery. These children face backbreaking work every day at 4:30AM for 14 hours as they choose between beatings and dangerous work helping their masters fish the increasingly barren waters of Lake Volta. They face this situation due to poverty, ignorance, and a vicious cycle of perverse tradition.
We are blessed to make change and participate in this rescue but in order to make the benefits of the rescue last it costs $250 per child per year to keep them out of slavery by providing a "safety net" of education, healthcare, and financial support. Our goal is to raise at least $500 so that we can help two children for the next year.
The support of our donors is significant. This is not simply throwing money at a problem 7,000 miles away. Our donors are able to DIRECTLY bless the lives of children that have no future in their current state. By donating to Bridges To America you are providing a lifeline that will be directly offered to the professional organization on the ground there to expertly provide the support and ensure that these kids do not slip back into this hopeless life of slavery.
Please donate whatever you can--it WILL make a difference. I will see to that myself and provide regular reports on the mission.
Thanks!
