Pay It Forward

What a fun day we had. Majeed and I met up with Greg Tehven a former student of University of Minnesota and member of the Student Today Leaders Forever group. Greg visited Ghana in January and developed a passion for Ghana on his trip. He got the chance to visit with the people, eat the foods and experience first hand the culture of Ghanaians.
He heard about the computers to Ghana project and jumped at the opportunity to help out.



Greg is also a leader with the Pay It Forward group; this group organizes high school students and plan service projects accross different states. During my conversation with Greg, he mentioned that he could get his group to come help me out if I needed to. That was a great idea, the students will learn how the services they provide here will impact lives thousands of miles away.


Concordia College donated more computers, about 120 pcs which is about 240 units of monitors and towers. There is no way I was going to be able to move that myself and so I needed the help. We scheduled a day and I got Kevin who goes to Bethel Evangelical Free Church to donate his truck to help out.

What a fun day, we moved all 240 units in less than two and a half hours. I told the kids about the benefits of serving and touching the lives of people they may never meet. All in all, we had fun moving the computers.
To help out, please keep reading and send a laptop or donation to the address listed below. All donations are tax deductible.

Thanks for reading. I hope you can help. Thanks Greg for your passion to serve.
