Sister Karla McKinnie Visits Ghana, West Africa

After an uneventful trip from Salt Lake City and Seattle, Holy Cross Sisters Karla McKinnie and Mary Ellen Johnson were greeted at the Accra, Ghana airport on Nov. 13 by Sister Margaret Mary (Maggie) Nimo, Area Superior, and driven directly to Kasoa, an hour from Accra, where they had lunch and settled into their rooms. The saga with the oppressive heat began while they rested from the journey. The next morning they met some of the sisters and St. Mary’s College volunteers at breakfast. Sister Lucy Lalsangzuali, from India, who is in Ghana for part of an internship in school leadership, took Sister Karla on a tour of Our Lady of Holy Cross School, run by the Sisters of the Holy Cross. There were close to 400 students, grades PK through sixth grade. Sister Esther Adjoa Entsiwah, CSC has established a wonderful program, which Sister Karla enjoyed seeing in action. >>>
