@tumainidc Tumaini DC, an OST Office grantee recently took a group of youth to Ghana. “On Sunday, we returned from a life-changing study abroad experience in Ghana—and I wanted to take a moment to extend my deepest thanks to the entire OST team for your continued support in helping make this impactful journey possible…Over the course of two weeks, our student leaders engaged in powerful cultural immersion, service learning, and social justice work that not only expanded their global perspective but also deepened their purpose. From visiting historic sites like Elmina Slave Castle and the Assin Manso River, to participating in university lectures, interning at an international real estate agency, facilitating community service projects, and healing circles, our students were transformed. They returned home with renewed vision, stronger cultural identity, and a profound commitment to making a difference in their communities.” -Tumaini DC
