I just got an email from Alexandra Borges in Lisbon. She is the journalist from Portugal whom I was able to meet during the September Rescue Mission in Ghana. She and her team filmed the rescues of Kweitey, Isaac and Ormond. Alex documented the entire rescue process from beginning to end: scouting for trafficked children, negotiations, the actual rescues, parental interviews, physical exams and the beginnings of rehabilitation and education. Her documentary was televised a couple of weeks ago and we at Touch A Life have been thrilled with the interest from the Portugal.
Alex is not moving on to her next film project just yet. Her email included a cope of the back cover of "Children Born of the Heart", a childrens’ book co-authored with Luis Figo. Figo is, in Alex' own words "World's best fuutbol player several times!"
I'm sharing some of her words:
This is the back page of our book who is going to be announced to the press 13 th December...as you can see in that back we say that all the money it will be delivered to touch a life kids to rescue slave children in Ghana...and get all your staff ready because next year we are going to do another report there and rescue 20 more children with this money because I want people to see that the money we asked is used for that...
I AM AMASED ABOUT WHAT LOVE CAN DO...I DID NOT KNOW THESE TWO PEOPLE THAT I CONTACT TO DO THE BOOK WITH ME BUT I TRUST THERE ARE GOOD PEOPLE AND IN LESS THAN A MONTH WE DID THE ALL BOOK TOGETHER AND NOW IS READY TO GO TO THE SHOPS?!!!
Isn´t it incredible?!!!!
I am going to send you the all book although it is in Portuguese but is a lovely story for kids about adoption that is called "CHILDREN BORN IN THE HEARTS".
I LOVE AND TRUST YOU GUYS AND THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THIS CHANCE TO HELP.
Yes, Alex, that is INDEED Incredible…and so like God! Wow! What an amazing God we serve!
The book will be released just before Christmas in Portugal and will be published in Italy and Spain as well. Alex says all profits from the book will be used to free more Touch A Life Kids in Ghana. It explains the love and commitment of parents who adopt children…children of the heart. And Alex most assuredly has children on her heart--one especially: Kweitey. And Kweitey certainly returns her love. As a matter of fact, he's renamed himself! You guessed it: Alex…Alex Kweitey.
Alex plans to hook up with us and use the profits to rescue twenty more children in Ghana next year so we (that includes you) need to get on with the completion of Phase I of Golden Village so that these children will have a place to be housed and loved.
Pray concerning your donating to Touch A Life, and if you are led to help in the completion of Phase one and the beginning of Phase II, please send your gift to Touch A Life (a 501c3) 400 Fox Ridge Drive, Joplin, MO 64801.
The TAL website will soon have continual updates on the building process and more updated information of the projects going on in Vietnam and Cambodia. We will keep you more informed on the lives of Touch A Life Kids via the website more regularly in the near future. When we update, we’ll post it on the blog so that you can log on and check it out.
Thanks!
