Kate’s high school graduation dream is coming true. On June 22nd, she we will travel to Ghana, Africa, with the World Joy Foundation, to provide service to the African people. It will be a lot of hard work, but she is prepared. They will be painting schools that the foundation has built, assisting with a water well, and participating in many other service opportunities within the village. She couldn’t be more excited!
Gary Farnes, Executive Director of World Joy, made the hike on foot to the Village of Abrenya in October, 2010. He calls Abrenya the “Lost Village”. They are isolated and cut off from the rest of the villages, because there was no road into the village. Since October a dirt road has been built. Unfortunately, they still have no clean drinking water and disease runs rampant. Linda Hansen, Office Manager, for World Joy is championing a water well project for the Village of Abrenya. For $10,000, equipment and supplies can be brought to the village to drill a bore hole for fresh drinking water. As a result of Linda’s hard work, and with the help of generous donations around the community, Linda has raised $6000. Katelyn has been asked to help raise the remaining $4000.
Donations can be received one of these three ways:
1. A check donation sent to World Joy at 420 West 1500 South Suite 101, Bountiful, Utah,84010.
2. A credit card donation by calling Linda Hansen at 801-294-5581
3. Or at donate through Eventbrite @ http://www.eventbrite.com/event/1347393089/.
