WELCOME |
Greetings from The National President
I greet you in the Ghanaian spirit of Sankofa! During this biennium, to more effectively and efficiently serve children, I will focus on lessons learned from many sources. Among those is the symbolic meaning of the Sankofa bird to my position as National President. The Sankofa philosophy stresses the importance of reaching back to retrieve and retain knowledge gained in the past to apply in the present to succeed in the future. That is a promising message of OPPORTUNITY!
