The Way to Happiness in Ghana

The Way To Happiness® in Ghana held its first seminar recently at a junior high school with a student population of 235 and 7 staff members.

The school is a local organized school built by the community. Residents and staff at the school are concerned with the increased crimes being committed by youth. The Way To Happiness was introduced as a means to both lower the crime rate and bring a sense of hope and happiness to all involved.

The facilitator of the seminar and students had a lively and productive talk about all of The Way To Happiness precepts. There was no lack of ideas and questions flowing from the group.

A huge supporter of The Way To Happiness is
Mr. Kingsley Afetorgbor. He worked diligently to introduce the staff to The Way To Happiness and make this seminar happen. Kingsley has encouraged the staff to put the booklets in their free period classes, time table and library. He firmly believes the reading, learning, and following the moral codes will reduce the rate of youth crime.

The headmaster of the school is also a supporter of The Way To Happiness and encouraged the students to put the 21 precepts into practice; voicing that it will help them to be good leaders some time in life. He also stated that funding and supplies are needed to expand this program in their school.


"Be Competent' (precept 17) t shirts were given out by another supporter of The Way To Happiness. These t shirts are worn proudly by the students that take an active role in applying the precepts both in their school and home life.

Many wonderful, productive activities are in the works in Ghana. The Way To Happiness supporters volunteer their precious time to help spread hope and happiness. Many schools need to be visited, many more booklets and t shirts are hoped to be given, many more students are waiting to learn this common sense guide to better living.

Please join hands with Ghana and help us spread The Way To Happiness.
~LOVE AND HELP CHILDREN - Precept 4

'Today's children will become tomorrow's civilization. Bringing a child into the world today is a little bit like dropping one into a tiger's cage. Children can't handle their environment and they have no real resources. They need love and help to make it' - The Way to Happiness
