And so on and so forth...

Wendy and Stephany at the FST first and final profession ceremony.


Auntie Millie and a drained John Bosco.

With the Inkum's for Sr. Georgina's first profession. Three of them are students at BTLA -Margaret Mary (in my arms), Cosmas (front left) and Anthony (third from the left, bottom row).


The newly professed Sr. Pat (far left), Sr. Mary, and Sr. Georgina.
Only the beginning of Francis' song of himself. 

Yeah typing.

After-school chores.

Benedicta and Michelle doing their part.

 Romeo (left) and Stephen. BS4-humble kings of the playground.

Nursery.

Fun day in the lab with shapes. Come the end of February, the students will no longer have to share computers. The remaining twelve laptops will accompany Sr. Marie Ego and Sr. Pauline Albin on their upcoming visit.

Felicia (left) and Paulina. Both boarders and BS4 students.

Kwaku (left) and Gerard-BS4. It's funny how when students have the liberty to create anything they want out of shapes on the computer, the majority still resort to the archetypal triangle and square house. The circular windows are a nice touch.


Raymond.

Seller shot for Loretto Computer Education, Richard and Ben. 

Mad. Leticia, Mad. Monica, Mad. Abena, Mad. Francesca, Foster and Adjei. The backbone of Blessed Trinity Leadership Academy. 

Sweepin'.

The expense of introducing students to Photobooth. Just another day in the office really. 

Martin and Akokoamong. 

Oh Kwame.

  The Kindergarteners...they never cease to grab, hug, laugh, pester, etc. but they sure make life look fun.


The school is good. The kids are learning. I'm smiling and my teaching job is as demanding and full of the unexpected as is teaching anywhere. The Ghanaian non-linear perception of time has helped me replace highways with meadows and for the most part keeps my control-freak tendencies in check. Overall it's an ode to the grace of letting it all be.
