ghanaian-girl

UU-UNO Executive Director Bruce Knotts will travel to Odumase November 18th-27th, 2008, to welcome the UUA President and to introduce him to the Queen Mothers. For Knotts, on the job only since January, it will be his first visit to Odumase, though as a former US Foreign Service Officer he has spent a good deal of time in West Africa.  All of us at UU-UNO are proud and delighted to be able to play host to Bill Sinkford during his pilgrimage to Africa.
