Dear Journal,
This will be our first conversation on the second phase of our journey with World Pulse. I have been soooo excited I didn’t know how to express how I felt exactly to you.
You know, I am writing a love letter to my mentor. I never wanted to share my love letter with you because love is a private affair and personal and more so I was instructed to email it! Hahahaha but every day, I read my friend’s mentor love letters in their journals. I savor their love words and I thought I should not be selfish. Let’s share my love letter too.
Dear Mentor,
My name is Gifty Pearl. Gifty means “Gift of God” and Pearl means “precious”. I believe I am the greatest gift of God to humanity since 03/03/1984.
I am a young woman who is passionate about bringing positive change to the lives of other women. I have a personal vision of seeing a world where women are assertive and economically independent.
I work as a volunteer for a media youth organization called the Children and Youth in Broadcasting-Curious Minds. I have also set up a foundation -“Greight Leaders Foundation” with the aim of mentoring young girls in my community.
I love to paint with words, capture pictures of scenes and record sounds of society daily. I cannot resist the temptation of pouring out what I feel, smell, hear and see about children and women in a journal.
I am thrilled to embark on this journey as a Correspondent with World Pulse. Being a correspondent for me, is a sacred opportunity and responsibility to internet my views and voice woman’s issues. I want to increase the volume of the silent loud voices of other sisters in every corner of Ghana.
Honestly I feel honored to have you travel with me as a mentor on this journey. I believe you are a gift to me and you will leave indelible foot prints in my life as we journey together. I know you will listen, coach, encourage and teach me. I feel you are with me already.
I appreciate the fact that you accepted to be my mentor. It means a lot to me. Thank you for all you will do to bring the best in me in the course of our voyage.
I cannot wait to hear from you so that we start this life changing experience.
With Love,
Gifty
