Lilian Update

Today I had a SKYPE session with Kwame to review all of the activities that we have scheduled  during my visit to Ghana in March and at the end of the call, there was a surprise visitor in the school office, Lilian Ampomah.  It was so wonderful to see her smiling face and the sparkle in her eyes. She was a bit shy, she has the sweetest soft voice.  She told me she is feeling well and that she is doing great in school.  I was also able to speak to her teacher, Martin and also Teacher Francis. Next week I will SKYPE with Primary Class three and their teacher, Steady.
