So I met with the students eventually. I met Gervin, I met Caliatus and Calista the twins. I met Crispin, Jerome, Mildred, and Rainer my favourite of all. We enjoyed three reading sessions together. They had big names they mentioned with ease and pride. Jerome asked me for my mobile number. When I started giving it out he pulled a book in which he had a white Reverend Father's name and another one at the top. I was number three. The boy was networking already even in Primary school. And yes he's called me to say hello just a fortnight ago. Rainer had a mind that took me by surprise. She read like a parrot. Matilda had a huge vocabulary for a teen. Another wanted to become the president of Ghana when he grew up. At the end of the week we had to give awards to the best students. It was the only time they made us sorry. They were bitter losers. Some cried and we wished we had something for everyone. They had an insatiable appetite for success which is quite rare in kids their age. They gave all of us memories we won't forget in a hurry. As soon as we landed we all agreed we had to go back there with bigger gifts and awards. I love Nandom, the people, the food and the peace. Thank you Google for giving me so little to go and find out so much for myself.
