Celebrated Ghanaian actress, Yvonne Okoro has encouraged underprivileged persons to be focused in life and the career choices they make. She said they shouldn�t give up on their dreams of becoming successful persons in life just because of what people think or say about them. The popular actress who is also an entrepreneur said this when she visited OrphanAid Africa�s young adults at the Young Adults Support Services Ghana (YASS Ghana) premises at Medina in Accra on Friday August 22 afternoon. OrphanAid Africa is a non-profit organization developing programs and projects to help vulnerable children and their families in Ghana. The organization was originally founded as a local NGO in Ghana in 2002 and progressively grew internationally with registered branches in the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Switzerland. The common goal of these branches is to rescue vulnerable children in need of care and to trace and reunify children with their families. It also strengthens families and communities so they can care for their own children. The YASS program provides services and support to young adults transitioning from care into adulthood through life skills education and career development services to create better opportunities for success.
