Hi, what prompted you to turn a Canadian citizen after serving your Mother Land? As you have been talking about struggles and restrictions as a migrant in Canada, We would be happy to welcome back you with your family to God’s Own Country. I am sure, you won’t dare to do that as you have tasted money and quality life there. Nor your children and grandchildren would dare to take the quality of education offered by MG University kind of institutions here.

Hi Sir,
I was looking online for my father’s old English teacher’s name (Miss Murphy) and I came across your blog. It felt really nostalgic to read it as it seemed similar to my late father’s words.
My father was one of the first students of SSA and we have visited Miss Murphy on her farm a few times over the years. I feel privileged to know her in some small way and to have had the opportunity to run around the dam and grounds of SSA.
I recently moved to Canada myself so it feel comforting and homely to read your ongoing memoir which is so similar to my dad 🙂
My regards
S
