The words above were written by Kofi Phillips, our brother and champion. This May, Kofi will be celebrating his 30th birthday and travelling to Accra, Ghana, his place of birth and home to not only our family but the Mmofra Children's Park.

This park, a wonderful green space located in the heart of the capital and the brainchild of our grandmother, Efua T. Sutherland, and her children (Esi, Ralph, and our mother Amowi), brings people of all ages together in an urban garden and park which brings educational opportunities (like our community garden and outdoor library) and much needed public green space to the city. 

Kofi, and in fact all our lives, have been forever forged by the foundation and the park, and we want to bring this wonderful space to as many as we can. Unfortunately, the accessibility of most urban areas remains poor for people with disabilities, and we want to make sure everyone can come and enjoy this eden in the city. With your help and donations, we plan on enhancing the park's existing walkways and exhibits to make sure anyone with special needs feels at home in ours. 

We are looking to raise $3,000.00 by May 28 (the day Kofi departs for Accra). We accept any and all donations, and in honor of this big birthday celebration, we encourage donations in multiples of 3 ($15, $27, $33, etc.). Thank you so much for contributing to our family's dream, and if you have any questions please feel free to email us at [email redacted]

Love, 

Kofi, Rachel, and Kwesi Phillips
