 Overjoyed with Success in Ghana – Isaac Bukari’s face can hardly contain his beaming his smile. For many years, Isaac suffered discrimination and neglect from his family and community in Ghana due to epilepsy until a PWS&D partner helped him access medication and enrolled him in a PWS&D-supported vocational training centre. Isaac excelled at weaving, dyeing fabrics and making soap, and received a new wooden loom and weaving materials to start his own business. Filled with joy and gratitude, Isaac says his life is now “fruitful and productive.” Today, Isaac runs a successful weaving business from his home and occasionally visits the training centre to teach new students how to follow in his footsteps. This Advent season, you can help young people like Isaac get a new start on life through support of PWS&D. www.presbyterian.ca/pwsd
