Andy Perkins is going to Ghana!
Andy was a facilitator for the Horizons Study Circles and at age 19 was the youngest. He had just received his Associate Degree from Indian Hills Community College. Andy went on to participate in the Leadership Plenty sessions and then became involved in the formation of Welcome, We Help. His commitment to ending poverty has taken him in a new direction. He applied for an internship in Ghana, S. Africa and asked if Welcome, We Help would write him a letter of recommendation. We were excited when he notified us that he had been accepted. He will be leaving this month for a country that is so far removed from Wayne
County. Andy is an example of youth that are aware of the disparities in our economic policies and is actively working to improve conditions for those in need. We wish him the best and are looking forward to hearing all about his time in Ghana. Way to go, Andy!
