William Agbo
William Agbo is a young man who has shown remarkable poise and resilience throughout his young life. Growing up in a small shack in Madina, William stood out among his peers from an early age. When others were misbehaving in secondary school, William always carried himself respectfully.
As William matures into adulthood, he proves to be an honest and hard working person. William has completed high school and now is an integral staff member of Teach on the Beach. In the future, Teach on the Beach hopes to be able to sponsor William's university education either in Ghana or abroad, but right now we are overjoyed to have him as our director of operations in Ghana. William manages the money, teaches after school and sends weekly reporting on both to the TOB board in the US.
In the future we hope to employ a number of our Scholars in this capacity as we slowly give the reins of Teach on the Beach to them.
