Karen Lefere, a Yo Ghana! teacher at Beaumont Middle School, and her family (husband Ted, children Maddie, Luke, and Levi) recently returned from two weeks of volunteering at ECG School in Tamale, one of Yo Ghana!'s strongest Ghana schools.
"We experienced gracious hospitality every day," Karen says, and adds that ECG's students "taught me about quality human relationships."
"The staff and students of ECG school appreciated the family with their readiness to help Africa in learning and teaching," remarks Joseph Abdulai. "Madam Karen helped us understand more about American people and their culture."
Yo Ghana! is grateful to Karen, Ted, Maddie, Luke, and Levi for representing Yo Ghana!, Portland, and the U.S. so well, to ECG School for so warmly welcoming them, and to Niihad and Dominic and their family for their matchless hospitality. You all "made the world a smaller place."
