Why We Went to Ghana

Kurt and I are helping get the Perpetual Education Fund going in Nigeria. We will be the Coordinators and will work with the students who are granted these student loans, as well as the Church employees and volunteers that help the students with the training and application process. Here we are at Sister Woodward's desk trying to learn something. She and her husband are the PEF coordinators for Ghana, Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast and Togo.
These are 3 PEF students who came in to be interviewed by Tom Rueckert. Tom is a PEF boss in Salt Lake City who came to W. Africa to do some training in Ghana and help with the PEF kickoff in Nigeria.
Connie Woodward loves working with the PEF students. Both of these students are mothers that work, attend school and serve in the church. I asked Pearl, a returned missionary, (left) what her church calling is and she said that she is the Stake YW President. Talk about busy!
Pearl's younger daughter didn't want much to do with me, but she was curious about the camera.
She wanted to play with my cool toy after I showed her the picture I took of her in the display. What a darling little girl.
