Mr. Adbulai Joseph teaches at the Evangelical Church of God School in Tamale. He has been one of Yo Ghana!'s mainstays in organizing, sending, and receiving letters from and for his own students, but also for several other schools, work that can consume many hours at all hours of the day or night. He also helps his school to identify hard-working students whose families need some help with book, uniforms, and other fees. The school has a fund for such uses that Yo Ghana! contributed to.

He was one of the stars of our first conference in Ghana, the Winneba "Sharing Our Stories Conference." He presented a paper and then organized the participants into a WhatsApp group so that they could stay in touch!

​Yo Ghana! is blessed to have you in the family, Mr. Joseph!

​Yo Ghana! Board Member Dorcas Mensah spoke in April at the SKOLL World Forum on Social Entrepreneurship at Oxford University on the “Kindness of Strangers.” She explored how people of privilege might approach deep inequalities and prejudices, not only binaries of black and white, rich and poor, male and female, but labels such as “refugee” and “migrant.”

​“What label have you given someone,” she asks, “that has deprived them of your kindness, your empathy, and your love?” Go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7bRNEgLIno.

Mr. Noah Christopher Kurzenhauser joined the Yo Ghana! family a little less than a year ago. He was a Young Leader in Action with the World Affairs Council in Oregon and has been recognized multiple times for his work bringing Iraqi and American youth together.

Noah has taken that experience and put it to use directing our very first Skype program, which links L & A Academy and Martin Luther King School. Despite many challenges such as a substantial time difference and technological hurdles, the project has been a great success at helping dozens of students feel a much deeper sense of connection to each other. He is also a Coordinator and has taken over our social media program, expanding our Facebook page by about 50% in just a few weeks.

Noah is one of our most effective and relentless engines. Thank you for your hard work!
