in his speech. 'We never thought we would be witnesses of an event like this.
"Joyce R. Aryee, chairman of the Board of leading of the Bible Society,
encouraged the present students to read the Bible and think of what they read,
and ask God to help to obey it.

The chosen person was Hilda, a fourteen-year student of high school. She could
not hide his joy when she was chosen in a random way, stroked her moment of fame

IN BRAILLE
Last July a delivery of the Scriptures in Braille for the Blind of Wenchi´s
School was made, in the Brong-Ahafo region. It was a matter of great joy to
their members, who were excited to see that the Bible Society had thought of
them offering Scriptures that they could read. The Vice Chancellor, Adu Damoah,
expressed to the Bible Society his gratitude and added that he almost never
received visits from churches, institutions or organizations. A week later,
students from the Blind of Wa School, the capital of the high western region of
Ghana, also received Bibles from the Bible Society. In the presentation they
heard the description of the work of the Bible Society. The event ended with
words of appreciation of the Chancellor and one of the students readaloud from
the book of Jeremiah.
