KCD welcomes guests from Tamale

Today, KCD welcomed Mr. Kojo Kaleem Jehanfo and his wife, Adamu Jehanfo, to our school. Mr. and Ms. Jehanfo are from our sister city of Tamale, Ghana, and we're thrilled that their visit marks the first time that we have been able to host visitors from Tamale.

The Jehanfos spent most of the day at KCD, meeting with Dexter Mahaffey's African Lit class and Elizabeth Spears' kindergarten class in the morning and with the middle school Global 20/20 club in the afternoon. During his time in Louisville, Mr. Jehanfo will work with us on proceeding with our Tamale Water Project and offer guidance on our contributions to the Tamale Scholarship and Aid Fund.

Mr. Jehanfo, who now works as a building contractor, was formerly attached to the Ghanaian embassy in Washington, D.C. Both he and his wife, who is principal community health nurse with the Ghana health service, have been very involved with the Sister Cities program in Tamale.
