Dear GIS Community It grieves me greatly to share the news of the passing of one of our beloved GIS students – Nana Adwoa Agyekum. The news is shocking and has left us all deeply distraught. Many of us spoke with her last week, chatted with her online; she was even discussing university choices with the School Counselors. That was Nana Adwoa; only in Form 4 but planning how dynamic her application was going to be in 4 years time! Nana Adwoa was active on the sports field, confident on the school stage (she was going to be Rizzo in our adaptation of Grease!), brilliant in the classroom (she was a maths prize winner!). She was respectful, responsible and a class act. What a realization that Nana Adwoa was one of those students about whom we could say without a doubt exemplified the GIS Attributes…and therefore what a loss: To her classmates, her teachers, and staff who interacted with her and children in the primary school she volunteered to read to and mentor. Although many students have already heard, I am now able to formally share the news with the community after receiving her parent’s permission this morning. Our hearts go out to them and our prayers encircle them at this most difficult time. We cannot even begin to imagine the depth of sorrow they must be in and all we can say in our Twi dialect is ‘Sh3din’…be comforted. May she rest in perfect peace. - Dr. Ashun.
