Thank You

An event like the STARS Conference does not come together over night, and it doesn’t happen without the efforts and contributions of many, many people. Although the conference is organized by Peace Corps Volunteers, who provide the “sweat equity” to plan and execute the project, it has always been supported by generous donations of money, in-kind items, and, most importantly, the time and energy of our distinguished guest speakers. Without this support, the conference would be neither possible nor meaningful for our students.

Although we will be sending personal thank-you notes to all of our Ghanaian sponsors, supporters, guest speakers, and donors, we would also like to offer this thank you to everyone who helped in any way with the conference, especially our friends and families in the states who supported the project.


A popular colloquialism in Ghana is “the tree that stands alone falls in the storm.” Thank you, one and all, for standing with us as we brought this experience to our students.
