Hello
all and welcome to this new blog for God’s Glory Children Foundation. This is
indeed the first post ever!
So
for the first blog post we would like to give you a short introduction to our
Foundation and what we do here in Ghana.

| The Co-Directors of GGCF and some of the sponsored children |
The
two areas we focus our work on is Education and Health care for children in
need (these are often orphans or street children).
Our
aim is to provide impoverished and orphaned children with an education. We
mainly do this by sponsoring some of the neediest children. At the moment we
sponsor more than 40 children at our Partner school (Maranatha prep-school www.maranathaprepsch.com).
We are currently paying for their schools fees, school supplies and uniform.

We
hope that by doing so we are offering them an education they would otherwise
not have the chance to receive and thus we are giving them the key to
success and a brighter future. By giving them an education they will be able to
get a better job which will not only help themselves, but their entire family
and community. With the knowledge they have gained they will be able to help
their community to find solutions to conflicts and educate their friends and
family.
We
currently have many more students, both at Maranatha prep-school and elsewhere
in Ghana waiting for a kind sponsor to help pay for their schooling (if you
visit our website at www.godsglorychildrenfoundation.com
you will be able to see some of these children and how you can help them).

Another area we focus on is
Health. We are hoping to provide the local hospitals and Health Centres with
equipment and help some of the neediest and deprived patience gain access to
health care which can be very costly. We would also like to provide all the
children we sponsor with a basic Health Care to prevent them of falling sick of
some easily preventable illnesses and diseases.

We also receive volunteers
to help us in accomplishing our aims. Volunteers provide a great resource to us
as they are able to come with their skills that they have acquired at home and
put them into practice here. We are sure that any expertise or experiences you
have will be able to help someone here in Ghana. Thus we receive volunteers
from any background, age, gender and with any skills – we are sure we will find
something fun, helpful and rewarding for you to do. Not only are we hoping for
the support of volunteers that come out here to Ghana, but you can also help
from home (e.g. providing us with suggestions, fundraising ideas, organising fundraising
events at home, helping us with the betterment of our website, advertising,
finding organisations to partner with etc.). The main activities for Volunteers
that come to Ghana are as teachers and helping in the medical sector (working
alongside doctors and nurses in local hospitals and health centres).

So if you
are interested in helping us than you will find an application form and lots
more information on our website www.godsglorychildrenfoundation.com.
In the short time we have
been working we have already achieved a lot and are hoping to grow further and
further so that we can help more and more people – however – this is only
possible through your support and help!
