I am a fundraiser for
A Ban Against Neglect, Inc.
Hello! Hannah and Nancy here, and we're Team Helen!
Helen is the nursery school teacher in Ghana. She watches the ABAN apprentices' 12 babies during the day so that they can attend schooling and skills training. However, Helen is more than just a babysitter. She works with the toddlers to give them a basic preschool experience. She even assigns them "homework" to complete with their mothers!
Why are we supporting Helen and ABAN?
We're for Helen because she is essential to the success of the ABAN apprentices and the future of the ABAN babies!
“ABAN is an incredibly innovative project, making an amazing impact on so many lives of both moms and children. As an advocate for parents and their children, it just makes sense for me to be involved with ABAN. The 5K is a fun and creative way to bring attention to the project and the faces of those involved in making ABAN successful.”

"I spent a month in Ghana last summer and was delighted to see the love and joy our babies have for learning! I got to help with the production of our new daycare center and since then Helen has been appointed as the new daycare teacher. As a result of these new changes our preschool is refreshed and revitalized to better care for and prepare our babies for a successful future in their education. Helen is the backbone behind this opportunity and gem to Aban and our toddlers!"
