The teachers and children of the Naa Kordey Memorial Child Development Facility at Medie, a community in the Ga West District of the Greater Accra Region of Ghana could not control their genuine excitement when Mr. Raymond Ablorh, the founder and manager of the facility entered the premise with Miss Leah Renaldi and Miss Julie Roessler at about 10:20 am today.
Madam Leah and Julie arrived at a time most of the children where in their classrooms, however, the few pupils outside continuously shouted 'obroni',a local Ghanaian language meaning WHITES.On hearing that their friends in the classrooms immediately directed their attention to the two American volunteers who looked on with beautiful smiles.
The officer in charge of Child Care and Welfare, Ms. Rebecca Ablorh met the two with opened hands and a hearty welcome. Before, the manager could do introductions, most of the children were already out to meet their new volunteer teachers. After they took a good number of photos with the children, Mr. Raymond Ablorh did official introductions and created the platform for Leah and Julie to interact with the teachers, child attendants and children.
The two Americans who are teachers of Demarest Middle School in New Jersey (USA) would visit the facility three days in a week for one month to train the teachers and child attendants as well as teach one of the classes English language.
