I gained a real insight in to the work that Agnes did; she achieved so much with so little and it was incredibly humbling to see the sacrificial way in which she lived. I returned to Ghana for Christmas the same year and the charity was born in the New Year - our aim was to work with Agnes and allow her to expand her work to support more orphaned and vulnerable children. Since the RHF was founded in 2009 we have been on an incredible adventure, growing organically each year and developing to the needs of the children we are working with. In 2009 we began building a home that will provide security, stability and access to education for 36 children. In 2010 our volunteer trips expanded and we began running summer schools in Santrokofi - from this it became apparent that there was a need to support children who qualified for college but were unable to afford it - largely due to being orphaned or in a home where one parent had died. I have been incredibly proud to see the hard work of fundraisers in the UK translate to scholarship grants for students in Santrokofi - many of whom have now graduated and have given back in various ways to the projects. My passion for ensuring the children in these rural areas accessed education and had a sfae childhood led me to a career in Teaching - I currently work as Head of Maths at a secondary school in Bournemouth. I now have a young daughter of my own - and can't wait for the day that I can take her to meet the wonderful people we work with in Ghana.
