TODAY IS THE WORLD DRUG DAY
TODAY IS THE 11TH ANNIVERSARY OF LOAD GHANA
TODAY IS THE BIRTHDAY OF ABAA PRINCE AMALITINGA
Today, 26th June, is one of the most memorable days of my life. It is a day filled with gratitude, joy, purpose, and hope.
Today, the world commemorates the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking. It is also a day of great significance for the LOAD GHANA family because LOAD GHANA is officially eleven (11) years old. Above all, today is the birthday of my beloved son, Prince Amalitinga Abaa.
Exactly eleven years ago, on 26th June 2015, we chose to launch LOAD GHANA on World Drug Day. We believed that God had given us a vision to restore hope, transform lives, and bring freedom to people battling addiction. What started as a dream has, by God's grace, become a ministry that has touched countless lives.
Then, on 26th June 2017, while we were once again commemorating World Drug Day at Jubilee Park in Bolgatanga, some family members quietly whispered into my ears that my wife had successfully delivered our baby boy at the Bolgatanga Hospital.
She had been admitted three days earlier, and we had become worried because this was unusual. But in His perfect timing, God answered our prayers. At that very moment, as we celebrated the mission of LOAD GHANA, God blessed our family with a son.
When I visited my wife at the hospital, I told her, "God has endorsed and approved the vision of LOAD GHANA by giving us this precious gift on the very day we celebrate this mission." We brought our son home with hearts full of gratitude, convinced that God was truly behind the vision He had entrusted to us.
Today, we celebrate three wonderful blessings:
- The International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking.
- The 11th Anniversary of LOAD GHANA.
- The birthday of our precious son, Prince Amalitinga Abaa.
As we gather with our residents at Sumburungu today, my heart overflows with thanksgiving. I thank God for His faithfulness, our dedicated staff, volunteers, partners, supporters, friends, and every resident who has trusted us with their journey of recovery.
To everyone struggling with addiction, never lose hope. Recovery is possible. With God, determination, and the right support, every life can be transformed.
Happy 11th Anniversary to LOAD GHANA!
Happy World Drug Day!
And a very Happy Birthday to Prince Amalitinga Abaa!
