NMH Speaker Encourages African Peace

MOUNT HERMON, MA—Northfield Mount Hermon School on March 27 welcomes a State of the World speaker who promotes peace and supports women in Africa. After working for the United Nations as an accountant in several African nations for 29 years, Nana Fosu-Randall in 1997 founded a Montessori School in Ghana, which has grown to educate 700 students. In 2004, she founded the nonprofit group Voices of African Mothers, which teaches both conflict prevention and conflict resolution to solve problems. The group works with residents, especially women, in Ghana, Tanzania, and Uganda to teach them to be leaders.

The program is to be held at the Rhodes Room in Beveridge Hall on March 27 at 6:45 pm. For directions to NMH, call 413-498-3000 or visit www.nmhschool.org.
