Update

Just wanted to give everyone an update on our where-abouts!

The girls have started their second year of school at St. Theresa's and are doing great. They remain focused and are extremely grateful for your generosity for the past few years.

Sister Kwame has moved to Rome where she is studying Religious Education and Cathechism. After her 3 year program, she will be the head of Religious Education for the Catholic schools in Ho and Hohoe. So far, she is struggling to learn the Italian language, but remains grateful for this incredible opportunity!

In addition, I have moved to Washington, DC where I am teaching at a local middle school. There have definitely been plenty of challenges so far, but I'm still optimistic that it will be a great year.

As for the future of Tugbeawo, Sister Kwame and I are in the process of determining the best candidate to replace her as Director. Gretchen has taken over fund raising for the time being and has some great ideas up her sleeve. Keep an eye out for updates from her.

If you ever have any questions or comments about the girls or Sister Kwame or how the money is being spent, please feel free to contact me at anytime at heil.eliset@gmail.com.
