On 19-20 August, 2013 Byron, Mark, Mawuli and Sam went to Cape
Coast to work with Fr. Asantey and Sr. Rosette. They met at Mercy Centre where
13 participants participated in sessions on Recovery Dynamics, the History of
AA in Ghana and how to start and conduct an AA meeting. Each participant had
practice in chairing a meeting, and a name was given to a new AA group – “Ahunto
Just for Today Group”. Because Mark and Mawuli were both past clients of Mercy Center, they were well
positioned to share with the present clients about life after treatment. Stories
were told about the action and willingness required to maintain sobriety. Mark said that “It was a great experience to
see AA growing in Cape Coast and to see the enthusiasm of Sr. Rosette about
starting an AA meeting”. Board member of the Hopeful Way Foundation, Dr. Eugene Dordoye, is currently based in Cape Coast and is helping with carrying of the 12-step message.
