"The holidays will have a different feel this year for Team Enlightenment member Sharon Rose, a longtime friend of Pointer's who won't forget THE POVERTY SHE WITNESSED IN GHANA".

THE POVERTY!
WE CAN ALSO BE DEVELOPED ONLY IF OUR LEADERS CAN BE A LITTLE PATRIOTIC.

THE ONLY PATRIOTIC LEADERS GHANA HAS EVER HAD WERE KWAME NKRUMAH, WHO HAD NOTHING, AND JERRY RAWLINGS, WHO HAD A LITTLE AFTER HE WENT DEMOCRATIC.

STILL, ASIDE NKRUMAH, I WOULD CHOOSE RAWLINGS OVER THE REST.

MILLS WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT, BUT TIME WAS NOT ON HIS SIDE.

THE REST HAVE ALL BEEN POISON TO GHANAIANS. MAHAMA IS THE WORST, HAVING DEFEATED KUFUOR IN CORRUPTION.
FOOLS ALL OVER!

Kyekyeku I pray that God will open your eyes to see and also understand things. Our beloved sister comes home to help and you open your mouth to spill this trush. These are the kind of people the government needs to support financially to help develop the poor communities instead of giving the money to some corrupt government officials. Dear sister we say "Ayekoo Akwaba".

Be careful and use reputable agencies to help you. Corrpution is Ghana's number one crimes. All that glitters is not gold.

Why so stupid, INSPIRATION?

Are you one of those stupid roadside pastors?

Good question, but the upside is that Ghanaians are effectively blocked from tribalizing a good intent and a good project.

But the downside is that this "benefactor" could just be lying to the media (wkyc.com) for cheap publicity, in order to gain some business or social-status advantage back home in America.

Between the two, I think I would choose your option. She should come back and tell us the name of the village so we can verify the claims ourselves.

We've been duped by our American sisters before.
Remember the woman that Rawlings contracted to supply us maize?
Or was it rice? We all know the outcome. She duped us.

She is for real ... The school is in a village in the central region ..cant remember the name but I remember the name of the Chief when he visited Cleveland and they came to my business .. his name is Nana Kodwa Eduakwa ... today we loaded a backhoe that someone donated to the village , we shipping it out Monday ... I have also been informed that they will be bring an ambulance to be shipped to the village ... while it is true that some people do take advantage of folks in the motherland , this woman is the real deal... she actually got a friend to be made a developmental chief in the village ..Name is Nana Whitaker ... they are pouring lots of money into that community ..How do I know? , I ship for them .. and my business is Radical Shipping and Logistics LLC.. these people are good hearted and I pray and hope that folks born in Ghana will do the same for their own... I will call Gloria and ask for the name of the village in the morning and post here... but for sure its in the central region ... if we all do a little , we cant do a lot... may God continue to bless our homeland Ghana with God people and may the leaders of the land learn from the strangers from a far
Peace and God Bless

This is not to down play the good deeds of Yvonne Pointer, but the story is incomplete. Giving the location of the school - Town/Village and region - would have made the story complete. As it is, it sounds like any fairy tale. Ghana is mentioned in the story as if the whole country is a small village without a single school.

America is so big that there's no need giving to exact location. It makes no sense if you tell an American I built a school in Bole Bamboi in the norther region. They don't give a shit about the village name or location.

Saying Ghana is enough!!!

On the other note the 20 friends coming to Ghana was a waste. Airline bills and hotel etc will ave furnished the school or enough build another.
