Through these photos I hope that you are afforded a glimpse into the genuine beauty of Ghanaian people. Honesty, faith and love are what dictate their lifestyles. We may not envy their limited resources, but I will forever remain envious of their incredible ability to love others with such ease.

At Worsca orphanage, kids raised kids. Some days there was breakfast, and other days there wasn’t. There were good days and there were hard days. Although they were children, their youth was often compromised as they were forced to carry the weight of 78 brothers and sisters on their shoulders everyday.

They may not have much, but in the village of Dodowa, they seemed to have achieved something that we struggle with everyday in North America: true happiness.
