67. The Pearl House: How a Mission of Love + Education is Transforming Lives - Courtney Bullard

Meet Courtney. She's telling her founder's story about the power of leading from a place where focus is always on helping "the one." The Pearl House was founded in 2013 to provide hope for girls in rural Ghana, Africa. By providing physical care, emotional support, spiritual development and life-changing academic/vocational opportunities, they empower these girls like never before. Hear one girl's tear-jerking story of hope of what happened her first moments on campus. We encourage keeping tissues handy.
