This event is hosted by the US Board of Mako Children's Opportunity Fund (Mako) to build community, make memories, and bring awareness to the 20+ vulnerable children currently living in rural Ghana; being raised by Mako in Hohoe, Ghana.

Our Mission: Uplift the lives of vulnerable children in rural Ghana.

Closing Statement
As we watch Wizard of Oz under the stars, our children in Ghana will be 7 hours ahead; tucked in bed. They too will have watched Wizard of Oz for a community movie night just hours before us. We may be worlds away, but we are all inextricably connected - may we hug our children close; and bring hope to those who deserve more than their circumstances have given.

We're proud to host this event, and simply welcome the community into our world. We have no expectation for attendees to donate; we're just proud and humbled by the children who have touched our hearts and changed our lives forever. To share their stories, and the resilience of our Ghanaian leadership team during Intermission is an honor.

This event is to celebrate the power, resilience and joy that comes from Community.

With Love,

Paul & Marica Needels (event hosts)
and the Mako US Board of Directors
