Randy Convery in Ghana in 2013

May 2, 2016
PERTH AMBOY – Dear Friends: I’m extremely excited and blessed to announce that this coming July, I’ll have the opportunity to participate in my second mission trip to Yaw Tenkorang, a small impoverished village in Ghana, Africa with Adopt One Village, Inc (“AOV”).

AOV is a non-profit organization started by Emmanuel Anim-Sackey who is from Yaw Tenkorang and is determined to improve the quality of life of the people in his home village.  AOV focuses on bringing sustainability to this small village through various programs.  Among other things Adopt One Village collects supplies to ship to the village, conducts teacher workshop with the village’s educators, has built and stocked a medical clinic, is very close to solving the village’s clean water problem and raises funds for high school scholarships.

I learned of the organization and it’s great mission through a close family friend who has traveled to the village multiple times and also sits on the board of the organization.  In January 2013, I embarked on a two-week mission trip to the village to assist in the organization’s efforts regarding education, medicine, infrastructure and sustainability. This experience deeply impacted my life and my appreciation for my many blessings and opportunities. Despite the immense language barrier, the relationships I’ve created with the children and families that we served are what fuel my passion and desire to return on this trip.

In order to participate, I need to raise $2,950 from family, friends and anyone willing to support this great cause.  I am asking for your support in order to make that happen.  The cost covers airfare, room, board, and the materials and supplies we will use in the village during our stay.

If it is on your heart to donate, any amount you could give would be greatly appreciated. For online donations, please visit: www.gofundme.com/GhanaRound2.

If you can’t help this time, I ask that your prayers and thoughts be with the team and me, the protection of our families while we are away, that our efforts to help the people of Yaw Tenkorang would be invaluable and that many Ghanaian lives would be positively impacted by our presence.  Please feel free to share this letter with anyone you think would like to get involved.

With Gratitude,
Randy Convery
