Thank you again to Stephanie and Justin from the Economics Society at Columbia University, for inviting me to speak to students recently about volunteering abroad. It was a pleasure meeting everyone!!

Justin volunteered with us in Ghana in the summer of 2007. He and a group of fellow volunteers started a sustainable transportation business to benefit the children at the orphanage where they volunteered. Justin and his group purchased a minivan (“tro-tro”) in April 2008.

The orphanage director and staff in Ghana operate the tro-tro daily as a commercial public bus, the receipts of which are providing better living standards, health care and education for 50+ orphans. If you wish to volunteer with this wonderful project, please let us know.
