Needless to say, I thoroughly enjoyed the 1st of May, here in Takoradi. One of my drivers, Ebo, accompanied me to the festivities which were only 5 minutes away from the house. Lots of people were in attendance; the rain held off until everything was over and I was almost back home.
Next up, we will be holding the first ever global read with students across the ocean and country - South High School in Minneapolis; Overbrook High School in Philadelphia and Archbishop Porter Girls Senior High School. This idea was spawned by the overwhelming joy the Ghanaian girls had when receiving books from America. Not sure if you remember, it was the Overbrook High School students who first said, "Let's send them books for their library, Ms. Breese!" This was only after seeing the first set of photos from the APGSS campus. I must have been crazy to listen to those children.
Anyway, I diverted my thoughts, much to the surprise of the girls at APGSS, it was decided to read a Ghanaian authored title, Faceless by Ama Darko. Get your copy - it's a goodie! American schools have recently received there books, so more to come later! The APGSS community has been supplied the book for every girl on its campus. The former Headmistress Aggrey thought the title worthy of that purchase for her school as she approached her retirement.
