She quits her job, sells her house and within18 months abandons her glamorous life to move to Ghana, determined to make a difference.
Today, Lisa lives in a mud hut in Ghana, from where she oversees her award-winning OrphanAid Africa, helping thousands of children separated from their families by poverty, AIDS or the exodus to the cities.
