As we enter into fall I can’t help but appreciate all the amazing fundraising initiatives we have been able to accomplish. This year we started a new partnership with The Potter’s Village of Ghana in Dodowa, Greater Accra Region of Ghana. Dr. Jane Adu founded this orphanage in 2000 with 16 children and 20 battered women. The orphanage currently houses about 120 children and 29 staff members. Recently the orphanage was forced to move out of their old site and is currently living at the unfinished buildings of their new site.

This made our foundation hit the ground running to raise funds for this orphanage in need. We started with a dining to donate at IHOP in June. 20% of the proceeds went to Konim Touch. This was a way for our community to get together, eat, and raise funds to help the children at Potter’s Village Orphanage. In August, we partnered with Honeycomb Poetics to co-host a poetry night. This phenomenal event had poets and vendors from all over New Jersey coming together for a great cause. All proceeds went to Konim and Honeycomb was able to donate backpacks and back to school supplies. Please check out their website for updates on their events at https://honeycombpoetics.com/.

This month we are collecting supplies to ship to Ghana in the beginning of November. If you would like to donate supplies please email us at konimtouchfoundation@gmail.com for more information. Below are the list of supplies we will be donating this year:
