The Counter Consume Movement, 6 September 2017
We provide support to the people of Ashanti to help them help themselves where they are

Story

I went with a team to Ghana to do work with AACO in April 2014. The local people that I met where AACO operates gave us so much. They gave us love, food, smiles, games, dances, singing and so much wisdom about community and how to care for one another. AACO works to lift local people out of poverty through education. We worked in the secondary school they built 7 years ago which is doing amazing work and has provided education for hundreds of teenagers who would not otherwise be able to receive it, but they need our support financially. Please join this counter-consumer movement and help me give back to them, so that the work to help break the holds of poverty in this region can be sustained.
