Hopeful Way House - Construction Nearing Completion

We have been saying for some weeks now that construction on the House is nearing completion. It seems that the walls and the roof were somewhat quick to go up but the finishing touches, including plumbing, wiring and floors took a longer time. In any case, King David is residing at the House and we expect to begin accepting a few other residents by the end of January. We want to go slow so we can keep on top of developments and set up the House on a sound basis. We are sending out the word to hospitals, clinics and NGOs that we will be looking for additional residents in the coming weeks. We don't have beds and other furniture yet, nor is electricity in place but King David doesn't seem to mind. Progress is being made on getting both beds and electricity. Oxford House International is also trying to find an experienced person to come to Ghana for a few monts to help us get the House going on a sound basis. We will keep you informed on developments.

Regards
Dan O'Laughlin

  1. News from Kukurantumi...
    Hilda just lost two relatives this past month who died from the effects of alcoholism. We just came from her abusua panyin's (family elder) house this morning. His son was one of the one's who died. The elder spoke of his son getting up at three AM to go out and buy akpateshie.
    This disease is deadly. We have a meeting later today, Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, and we will be discussing 12 step work in town. There is so much to do. Attraction and not promotion but so many people do not know about AA and our meetings.
