O.k. guys I have some really big news – I’m going to Ghana!
In January of 2011 I will leave to begin a 3 month teaching position in Avedo, in the Volta region of Ghana as a volunteer with the Amekor Foundation. Day after day the children of Avedo show up, eager to learn, to a school severely lacking supplies and resources. While at the school, I will be teaching English and basic typing skills. My most important goal while in Avedo is to show the children that they have not been forgotten, to make it clear that I believe in them. I believe that despite the odds, they will succeed. I know that my time there will provide them with the opportunity to know more, so that they may have more and do more.
In order for me to make this happen I have to raise some money. So on Thursday Nov. 11 I’m having a “Please buy my stuff because I am going to Ghana” sale! We will start setting things out in the parking lot by the shop at 8 a.m. If you can’t make it to the sale but would like to contribute to my trip you can send money to:
Tori Morris 182 Candlewood Dr. Danville, Ky 40422
Or log into your PayPal account, go to send money, and send it to my email address – toritha37@gmail.com
