Four
years ago I reported the unfortunate circumstances that met
Madame Aloma Ingram upon her return home. In short she
brought $50k to open a school in Ghana and it was stolen by the
likes of such vermin that parade in sheep's wool, ensnaring their
victims. However, she didn't take the position of a victim.
She took her hit standing.An administrative educator by
profession, Aloma returned to America to meet decapitating
government cut backs that almost forced her to close the private
school she owns and operates in Florida. Yet, through it all,
she remained focused. Little by little she managed to siphon
off enough money from her own salary to continue her project in
Ghana, taking every bit of the last 4 years to accomplish what had
already achieved. |
Now
she no longer gives thought to her pass struggles, she is entirely
too busy concentrating on today's challenges. Last I caught
her rewriting the regional exam papers, complaining about the
grammar on the test! they give the children.
Though she may have been forced to start more humbly than she
initially intended, she can still say that with all the set backs,
Africa was still her wisest move. The school only opened in
September 2010, but already the students are multiplying, where, on
the other side, they are declining. Growth potential is
exponential and the opportunity to to do what she loves in her
rightful place is a reward in and of itself. Aloma ain't
sulking, she moving forward ever, backward never, serving as an
excellent example for the rest of us.
The school is located in the Aburi mountains and serves students
from kindergarten to grade 3. Bus service is available. For more
