In 2022, I embarked on a life-altering journey to Ghana, where I encountered profound warmth and joy among the children. Witnessing the dire conditions in a local school, where students lacked basic amenities like toilets, squeezed into overcrowded classrooms, and studied in spaces without walls, ignited a deep conviction within me. These children deserved better. When the Work Meaningful Foundation invited me to join as a board member, my response was immediate and resolute. Count me in to champion and finance educational endeavors across Africa and the United States!
I'll be visiting in July of 2024 to be there for the launch of a new middle school in Akyremade, Ghana. We have already made so much progress! My personal goal is $3000 by the end of June or 50 people to donate in any amount before my 50th birthday on September 8.Will you be a helper to a young student in Ghana?

Wine & Wonder is a fundraising event to help finish constructing the 2-story Middle School in Akryemade, Ghana (we have raised enough so far to complete the first level. We are pre-celebrating Ghana's independence day (6th of March) to positively impact education in a village school right outside of Kumasi, Ghana.
This wine-tasting event will feature 3 wines and a dessert wine (3+1) with hour's oeuvres paring by Chef Awo of Eh'vivi. Be prepared to have meaningful conversations that exclude the two questions (Where do you work and what do you do). Asking one of those 2 questions will be an automatic $20 fine donated to the fundraising initiative.
Attire: Come as you are
