Confronted with the horrifying reality of trhe orphan’s lives, Lisa is shocked out of her privileged life. She quits her job, sells her house and within18 months abandons her glamorous life to move to Ghana, determined to make a difference.

Today, Lisa lives in a mud hut in Ghana, from where she oversees her award-winning OAfrica, helping thousands of children separated from their families by poverty, AIDS or the exodus to the cities.
