I am so blessed to be apart of the Ghana Rock team this year to inspire young people to become involved in aiding child slaves in Ghana. Although not the original intent of Ghana Rock, the inspiration of youth has evolved into an outstanding outcome and enormous impact. For only being apart of this group for a month so far, I have already seen an influence on my seven team members (who are all teenagers by the way) and in the lives of other youths working with us. For example, I personally have been working with Meg Cuttino, an 11 year old girl, who is hosting a car wash on November 5th to raise money for Ghana Rock. I have become very motivated by her precious, giving heart and fantastic organizational skills. Meg is an inspiration to all teenagers (including myself) to take action and aid those in need. As youths, we are the future generation of the world and have the ability, if we so choose, to be like Meg by stepping up to the plate and taking the challenge to help people or even save lives! Thomas Jefferson once said, “Every generation needs a new revolution.” So, let’s start a revolution with Ghana Rock!
