Obama Goes to Ghana.

President Barack Obama has declared that he will be visiting Ghana in July. Instead of visiting Kenya, his father's homeland, or Nigeria, Africa's stronghold, Obama has chosen to visit Ghana.

This is huge and exciting news. It's great for the Ghanaian government. As a whole, the government will be looked upon favorably by Americans because of the president's visit. Tourism could increase. The nation will be in the spotlight.

Our hope at the Touch A Life Foundation is that outsiders, including President Obama himself, take a hard look at the other things happening within the country. Undoubtedly, Ghana is an incredibly beautiful country full of amazing, kind, hospitable and generous people. However, there are still those who are selling their children into slavery. There are still those citizens who are forcing children to work on Lake Volta's choppy waters every single day. There are still people being persecuted. There are still people who need help.

Lead the revolution, President Obama. Open your eyes to the injustices occurring in Ghana. Don't let us down.
