Education

Hey boys and girls,

This week I am writing about another modernghana article, titled "Youth Encouraged to avoid politicians who perpetuate violence".

This article relates directly to what we will be doing at the HOPE Orphanage because it shows Mr. Francis-Xavier Sosu's motivational speech to students in Ghana. In this speech he was "instilling in the students a sense of purpose and direction," and inspiring them to continue with their educations. In this article he discusses the importance of being educated, and he encourages the 600 students present to stay in school and to make a difference.

I think Mr. Sosu's speech relates very much to what we are going to be doing at the HOPE Orphanage. We need to not just be week-long momentary mentors to the boys. We need to make a real difference that is not soon forgotten. Through trying to instill values and lessons into these kids, we can turn just one week into a lifetime of difference.

Thanks,
-Ben
