鈥淢y mom always told me, if you know your why, it will guide your how. And I knew my why - I wanted to study abroad and be in a community where I could help. You planted seeds before you knew it. In 2011, when you started this fund, you planted seeds of life and hope to give students like me an opportunity to do something I would have never imagined, never dreamed of. So I want to say thank you for taking a chance on me and for allowing me to be a part of this community and grow in so many ways. You blessed me and blessed the children in Ghana and I really appreciate it,鈥 said Sachaye Walker, a student who participated in Study Abroad Ghana through the passport scholarship.'
