Etse and his twin brother Atsu came to the orphanage in March of 2008. Etse is quietly determined. If you ask him a question, and he doesn’t know the answer, he will mull it over until he finally comes up with one. Sometimes not until 10 minutes later.

Both of them work really hard to obey the ‘English only during school time’ rule. They are really good translators; and good at giving lessons in Ewe.

Etse, along with his brother Atsu love learning and are very intelligent! They love to practice their reading and math skills with anyone that will take the time to sit down with them. Etse also likes playing football and teaching the other children what he has learned. Etse does not know what he wants to be when he grows up, but he hopes one day to attend one of the universities in Ghana.
