In the morning of Friday 1st November, 2024, the air was filled with excitement and purpose as Global Volunteers Corps made their way to the Weija Leprosarium in Accra with their three visitors from USA, Robert, Cindy and Yvette. The visit which was intended to be a familiarization tour became much more than that—a moment of connection, compassion, and solidarity. The Weija Leprosarium, overseen by Father Andrew Campbell and his dedicated staff, has provided a home for nearly 30 individuals who live with the scars of leprosy. For years, it has been a place of refuge, dignity, and healing. Yet, as is often the case, the Leprosarium faces challenges in sustaining the resources needed to care for its residents. This is where Global Volunteers Corps hope to make a difference. As the team arrived, they were greeted by Father Campbell, a man known throughout Ghana for his tireless work and devotion to humanity. Alongside his team, he welcomed the volunteers with open arms. He began by sharing the remarkable story of the Leprosarium, from its humble beginnings to the sanctuary it has become. Father Campbell recounted tales of resilience, hope, and love—stories that shone a light on the lives and spirits of those whom society often overlooks. After the stories, Father Campbell led Global Volunteers Corps on a tour of the facility. Each corner of the Leprosarium seemed to carry a sense of reverence, a reminder of the strength and faith that had built the community. As they finished the tour, the President of Global Volunteers Corps, Mr. Stephen Kwaku Darku in a brief but heartfelt speech, expressed admiration for Father Campbell’s work and the courage of the residents. Recognizing the financial needs of the Leprosarium, he presented an undisclosed amount of money to the Leprosarium. Tears shone in Father Campbell’s eyes as he accepted the gift. He thanked Global Volunteers Corps on behalf of the residents, sharing his deep gratitude not just for the donation, but for the kindness and recognition they had shown by simply being present. As Global Volunteers Corps prepared to leave, they were reminded of a lesson that would stay with them forever: the power of presence, of listening, and of giving—both materially and spiritually. Their visit had been more than an act of charity; it was an affirmation of humanity, a reminder that even the smallest actions can ripple out to touch the lives of others. This single visit has become a beacon of hope, illustrating that when people come together with a spirit of compassion, even the most forgotten corners of the world can be filled with light.

Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the catastrophic floods in Spain this week. The loss of over 200 lives and the devastation of entire communities has shaken us all. We are sending our heartfelt support to all those enduring this challenging time. The resilience and bravery of the residents and responders working tirelessly to provide aid and shelter in such conditions is truly inspiring. In moments like these, we are reminded of the urgency of building climate resilience. These extreme events are no longer rare occurrences—they are becoming part of our reality. At The ESG Institute, we are committed to guiding businesses, communities, and governments in adopting sustainable and resilient practices to protect lives and livelihoods.

Robin N Boustead, Senior ESG Advisor at The ESG Institute, raises a compelling question: Can AI truly address the complexities of ESG reporting, or is it simply a distraction from the urgent behavioral shifts we, as humans, need to make? Robin reminds us that while technology can be a powerful tool, there is no substitute for genuine, sustainable change that respects planetary boundaries. As he puts it, “There are no magic buttons or instant solutions.” If we are serious about a sustainable future, our habits must evolve – now. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on this topic tomorrow at 3pm GMT, as Robin sits down with AI advocates on The ESG Show to explore how AI might assist (or limit) our sustainability journey. ?? Event Details: ?? Date: 30th October ?? Time: 3pm GMT ??? Host: Michael Baxter - The ESG Show #ESG #Sustainability #AI #ESGReporting #Business Don't miss this chance to join the conversation!
