In October, Touch A Life partnered with the Ghanaian Department of Social Welfare to\u00a0rescued 16 children from forced labor and provide them with permanent housing at our Care Center<\/a>. Two weeks later in November, our staff was contacted by Social Welfare about nine additional children who had recently been rescued and needed a place to call home. We are happy to say that all 25 children are now safe, and are part of the Touch A Life family.<\/p>\n

\"Group<\/a><\/p>\n

Eleven boys and 13 girls between the ages of six and thirteen are settling into their lives of freedom in Kumasi. The 14 girls are living in Zachary’s House<\/a>\u00a0, and the 11 boys have moved into our younger boy’s dorm, Chase’s Place<\/a>. We are so thankful for our Legacy\u00a0Families who have made sure that the Care Center has plenty of space to serve these children.<\/p>\n

Casa Dei Fiori<\/a> has been converted into a \u00a0large school room so that all 25 children can receive private tutoring for their first year at the Touch A Life Care Center. This will allow them a custom transition into Ghana\/s education system, since many of the children have never attended school of any kind.<\/p>\n

Each of our new children also has access to Connor Creative Art Center<\/a>, with a library and quiet places to look at books, as well as plenty of art supplies for creative expression. In the coming months they will be introduced to a series of Art Healing<\/a> sessions\u00a0to begin their journey of wholeness after years of exploitation.<\/p>\n

If you would like to become a Child Sponsor<\/a>,\u00a0Educational Sponsor<\/a>, or Art Sponsor<\/a>\u00a0for one of these children, please contact us<\/a> and our staff will connect you with a child.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
