Rebecca Kuntz ‘11 opened the Light for Children Educational Center for the Ghanaian town of Atonsu on Oct. 9 and started a nonprofit organization called The Treasured Ones. She also adopted a daughter, Ellie Grace, who has special needs.

“The Center has created a space for children to let their creativity run wild, has allowed the children to develop, opening their eyes to new experiences, new information and new ways of learning and has created security for these children,” Kuntz said. “We work hand in hand with the community to listen to problems, assess strengths and abilities, brainstorm creative solutions and then work towards our dreams together.”

Kuntz plans to continue living full-time in Ghana with her daughter.
