Changing the world, one penny at a time


and now a word from our sponsors...

For the last two years the Portland Christian Middle School Student Council has been a huge supporter of Premec Creations.  They have found creative ways to raise funds to realize Martha's dream: empowering impoverished women in Ghana.  

Below is a special message from two of these students who have been tirelessly working to improve the lives of women half a world away.  Thank you Jared, Jordan, and the rest of the student council team along with their advisor Kristen for changing lives in tangible ways!  

Hi everyone, this is Jared and Jordan from the Portland Christian middle school student council.  We just want to talk about all the fundraisers we’ve been doing to help Premec Creations.  At the beginning of the school year we sold cookie mix that we made, soap handmade from Premec Creations, baked goods, and other crafts at a craft fair our school puts on.  We also held a penny war this year that the whole middle school participated in, and we were able to raise about $400. We are going to start a bake sale with the proceeds going to Premec Creations.  Last spring we sold popsicles and plan to do the same this year.  We are glad we can contribute to this great organization and it’s great to see how it’s affecting the women in Ghana.  Keep up the great work! 

-God bless, from all of us at Portland Christian

  time to go back!

I apologize for the delay in updates.  Amy & I have focused more on the facebook updates lately. BUT, we are going to be updating this site more often, so please check-back often!

Amy & I will be headed to Ghana next week to visit Martha & the third group of trainees.  We are thrilled to see the new center and meet this group of women.  We will be strategizing for future plans, visiting graduates of the center, purchasing supplies, documenting with LOTS of photos and video!

We have been overwhelmed with the support from Portland Christian middle school, Metro Church of Christ ladies group, the Beta Beta chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma, as well as family and friends in Portland and Oklahoma City.  THANK YOU for participating in Martha's dream to empower women in Fetteh, and now Senya, Ghana.
