Our Story
After graduating high school in June 2018, I decided to live in Ghana, West Africa for 5 months working as a medical assistant. The non-profit organization Lattitude Global Volunteering provided the amazing opportunity for me to be placed within a well-run hospital and a wonderful host family in Akim Oda. During my stay my knowledge in many areas expanded substantially; I was able to work hands on in a hospital, frequently explore and travel the country, be completely immersed in the culture, build connections with new people and live a completely different lifestyle.
My host family was absolutely amazing, the most welcoming, loving and caring people. Alberta is my Ghana mom; she works as a nurse at the same hospital I volunteered at. Through many conversations with her I was able to gain insight into her dreams and aspirations, and develop a very close relationship with her. I discovered that her main goal in life, similar to mine, is to make a positive impact in people’s lives. I realized that almost everything she does is to help people, and to make people happy. She informed me that she would regularly visit the quite underdeveloped village Aperade, about an hour away, to dress wounds and treat injuries. There is a hospital nearby, although it lacks the space, supplies, and staff to be able to accommodate the needs of the entire community. As a result, residents will frequently avoid seeking the care they need.
Alberta’s passion and drive to help people truly inspired me to try my best to work towards making her ideas of establishing a clinic and pharmacy in Aperade, a reality. I have the mindset that with hard work and the support of the community, I can provide Alberta the opportunity to truly help make a difference in these peoples lives. My mission is to fund the renovations, constructions, and supplies that Alberta’s Pharmacy and Clinic will need in order to operate, so that the residents of Aperade receive the care they deserve.
