Unitarian Universalist Church hosts talk on rural life in Ghana

Newton - A program on village life in rural Ghana, West Africa, drew an attentive audience on April 23 at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Sussex County in Newton. The program, titled, “A Story of Service and Hope,” was presented by Sparta resident Sally Sattin, who worked as a volunteer in the Kopeyia village school last October. The school was built in 1998 with funds raised by Robert Levin, a musician and composer from Teaneck. Since then, Levin, the president of the non-profit organization the Kopeyia Ghana School Fund, has been raising funds in the U.S. to provide educational opportunities for hundreds of children in a community that previously had no school.
