The Texas Tech and
Georgia Southern Universities sent ten students and four faculty members to
Ghana form May 17 to June 3, 2012. The Hopeful Way Foundation hosted the group.
They went to secondary schools, churches, the Addictive Diseases Unit,
hospitals, recovery facilities and spent time at the House of St. Francis. The
visit was simply a great one and created the basis for a continued relationship
between young people in recovery in Ghana and the U.S. Emily Eisenhart of Georgia Southern University said that ”everything went
so well in Ghana, and we all agreed that this was an incredible and
life-altering journey for all involved. I feel so blessed to have been a part
of it!” The 12 visitors stayed with four Ghanaian families in Accra and at the
Oyarifa Oxford House. Kristen Harper says that The
Center for the Study of Addiction and Recovery of Texas Tech is “excited and
humbled to work with the Hopeful Way Foundation and their faith and devotion to
provide service. The benefits to our
students who moved throughout the country with them is immeasurable. We are
looking forward to the next stages of our relationship.
