We join the rest of the world to wish our Muslim brothers and sisters a blessed Ramadan.

As the Ramadan begins today, we pray that God Almighty accept your efforts in this holy month.

We at Notre Dame are delighted to receive 5 copies of Rohey Fofana's book titled "Finding A Lost Heart".

This gift is immeasurable because it will help the students improve their writing and reading skills and also inspire them to publish their works in the near future. Indeed, we are grateful. Thank you so much Rohey Fofana.

Continue writing in order to inspire the next generation.......
