Betsy and I left
Agogo on Sunday, June 7
th around noon. It was heart breaking to say goodbye to our coworkers, friends, and students without knowing when we will be able to visit again. On Saturday, June 6
th we attended a graduation ceremony for the alumni of
APCE (already in their teaching positions). During the graduation ceremony the faculty and students presented both Betsy and I with gifts. The students gave us both nice
Woodin cloth (a very fancy English made cloth that is popular in Ghana). The faculty and staff gave each of us
Kente cloth, the handwoven cloth
originated in Ghana, dresses. We were
flabbergasted by these amazing tokens of
appreciation.
The hardest part of moving out of Agogo was having to say goodbye to the children in our neighborhood. Betsy spent time with Portia(2) and Vida(3) while I sat with Stephen(9) and Emmanuel(9). Many tears were shed, but I am hopeful that one day I will return to see them all grown up!
The vice principal, Papa, and our old principal, Ma, escorted us to Accra on Sunday. Here we are pictures outside of the IFESH office in Accra.
