In 1970, she founded the first Zonta Club of Accra, an international organization dedicated to improving the lives of women and girls through service and advocacy. The club has since flourished, making a significant impact in the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, Ruth was invited to carry out a UN project to train women in southern Africa in skills that would enable them to support their families economically. Her dedication to service extended beyond her professional life; she also expressed her artistic side by establishing the \u201cArt Den\u201d in her home in Accra, where she offered art lessons to aspiring artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Legacy and Life Lessons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ruth\u2019s life is a testament to seizing opportunities and embracing learning. She has travelled extensively with her husband and on her own, even studying Philosophy at McGill University during their two years in Montreal from 1964 to 1966. With a great sense of humour and unwavering faith, Ruth navigated life\u2019s challenges with grace, embodying the belief that \u201cwhen life gives you lemons, you make lemonade.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, her legacy is one of service, advocacy, and artistic expression. Her journey inspires others to recognize the value of education, the importance of community engagement, and the power of resilience in the face of adversity.
