There was a lot of commotion at Airfield School this week. The head mistress and two teachers got a transfer letter. The Director of Education followed-up on his promise to Benny and new teachers were assigned to the school.
I am going to divide my time between sewing and teaching.
We made a new contact with “Project Abroad” a UK based NGO. They bring young volunteers from Europe to teach, help farming and help at medical facilities. We invited them to visit Airfield School and took them to the “bush”, where we visited some families.
They are going to send volunteers teachers to the AF school and we hope that it will bring new energy to the Airfield School.
George, the adult that Pagus Africa is sponsoring, is doing well at the Technological Institute in Kpando. He proudly told us that his father brought him yams and his mother gave him ten Ghana Cedis ($7). His wife also makes straw fans to fan the fire. She is sending him some so that he could sell it at Kpando market. We saw his wife at the building site, she was selling soup.
On Saturday I accompanied Aku Sika to another shopping trip to Accra. We also visited the Art Center. I think that I got Accra out of my system.
Africa, it is not an easy land. Blessed with natural treasures but too many very poor and clueless people.
