Henrietta Vusiakorn
Henrietta is a very focused student. When she was not challenged enough in her classroom, she found Aaron and Ali and bugged them about what they were reading, if they could read to her, or write math story problems for her.
Even if she got a question wrong, she would sit with you and work it out; afterwards, she would ask for another. Henrietta has always been the first to get you a chair, offer you a cold water sachet and ask you surprisingly astute questions. She is one of the top minds and most caring hearts at Teach on the Beach.
Henrietta has ambitions to study Nursing at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Kumasi. Over the years we have seen Henrietta take on many challenges, some given to her by Teach on the Beach staff to help her learn and others from her tough family life that have tested her emotionally. Through it all she has persevered, grown ever more confident, and continues to amaze us with every step foward
