Were happy the children advanced to the next grades - Francis from class six to form one, Mary from class five to six, Georgina and Susana from class three to four, Moses from class two to three, Daniel and Antoinette from class one to two, Ama from Nursery 2 to KG 1. Congratulations to all our children! Additionally Abel and Papa Jr also started school. Abel started in form two and Papa Jr started in nursery. Initially Abel was intimidated but he has adjusted and built his confidence up. Hes enjoying his classes and has promised to work hard to catch up with his class and rise to be one of the best students. Papa is also doing well in his new class. Naturally he had to go through a transition phase as it was his first time at school. However, he has warmed up to the other children in his class and all his teachers. His new nickname is I want more because he always asks his teachers for more snacks whenever he is done with his initial amount. His teachers love having him in class. Kweku is also in his second year in Nursing School. Classes are going well for him. As part of his curriculum, his class visits deprived regions in Ghana to provide medical assistance and health advice to the people. They also provide free medical screening and first aid to any sick people in these regions. Back at home we have hired new Science and Twi (Ghanaian language) after-school tutors.
