Grateful Recipients from Ghana Send Word of Receiving Shipment
Orphan Grain Train Norfolk received word that the October shipment to Accra, Ghana arrived safely at the Ebenezer AkwangaHuman Rights & Humanitarian Institute.
Dr. Ebenezer Derek Mbongo Akwanga, Founder & Chief Executive Officer expressed his appreciation of this shipment in an email sent January 5th:
Monday, January 5, 2026
“Grace, peace, and deep thanksgiving to you all.
On behalf of the Board, Management, Volunteers, and the countless vulnerable children, families, persons living with disabilities, and underserved communities we serve across Ghana, I write this letter with a heart full of gratitude, humility, and unwavering appreciation to Orphan Grain Train (OGT) for your sacrificial love, steadfast partnership, and Christ-centered commitment to actionable compassion.
We are profoundly grateful to inform you that the first humanitarian relief container shipped to the Ebenezer Akwanga Human Rights & Humanitarian Institute (EAHRHI) arrived safely in Ghana on December 11, 2025, and – after a very challenging process – was officially cleared from Customs by EAHRHI on December 28, 2025. Though the journey was arduous, the impact is already immeasurable. Lives have been touched, dignity restored, and hope rekindled.
This container stands as a visible expression of the Gospel in action – an embodiment of our Lord Jesus Christ’s words in Matthew 25:35-40, where faith is not merely professed but practiced: feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, caring for the sick, and remembering “the least of these.” Indeed, our partnership reflects the spirit of the Parable of the Good Samaritan, where love transcends distance, borders, and convenience, and compassion refuses to pass by on the other side.”
Not all shipments move easily through customs, and we are relieved and grateful to see them in the hands of their recipients. Thank you, OGT donors for supporting the cost of these shipments. Thank you, donors for sharing the supplies that fill these containers with items that can be used in places of need.
