A Photo Story - Christmas comes to the Leprosy Village in Ghana

This update is long overdue, but well worth the wait...When Dream Agent Sherry Peters came home this past Fall, she had recently visited a cured leprosy village in a placed called Ho.  She was deeply moved by these people -- 60 adults and 90 children -- outcasts of society tucked away in a remote village.  


Sherry wanted to do something to help them...to offer them hope and joy. So, during her time in Canada, Sherry dreamed and hoped and planned a big Christmas party for this entire village.  And while she was not able to fulfill the dream during the actual Christmas season, (the party was held in February) she did bring the true spirit of joy and giving to this beautiful group of people.  The pictures tell the story of this dream come true...
