Report from Koo Tufoo Oxford House, Kukurantumi
There are currently three men in the Oxford House
here. The house opened officially January 17th and the residents are
doing well. One of the men arrived in poor health, but due to improved
nutrition and medical care is currently doing quite well. In fact, he is the
first one up now in the morning to do daily chores.
The men have two meetings daily, morning and
evening, and a two hour session using Larry Gaines’ Recovery Dynamics text. The
evening meeting is an open meeting and one man from the town comes regularly.
Kwabena D. teaches the Recovery Dynamics text, and chairs the evening meeting.
Moses chairs the morning meeting. We have had several inquiries from nearby New
Tafo and Koforidua. Actually, people have told us they are coming, but then
didn’t show up. We expect one individual to follow through. There are rooms
available for women in the compound, but to date, none have come.
The translation of the “Big Book” Alcoholics
Anonymous into Twi is almost complete. It is being reviewed by a translator at
the University of Ghana. She should finish soon, and then the text will be sent
to the WSO in New York City for final approval, and then they will provide
funds to print 2,000 copies. There is some interest in holding an AA meeting in
Koforidua, but again we need to identify individuals there who will be
interested and committed to attending.
