In his words:
“Today, little Priscilla, a former resident of the Weija Leprosarium, who was rejected by her parents at age two, reached a new milestone in her life, with her first day at school, at the Roman Ridge School in Accra.
It was an exciting day for her and all who have cared for her including Father Campbell, Donna, and Barbara. Priscilla is such an intelligent girl and I believe she is destined for some great things in life.
Congratulations to Priscilla Nonstele!!! May the Angels protect you.”
