		Province of Africa - Sr. Irene Brookman Arthur What does God want from me? How could I contribute to make the world a better place? Were some of the questions in my heart at the time.  I was attracted to the School Sisters of Notre Dame through their hospitality, kindness, joy, and their effort to witness to unity and to enable persons to reach the fullness of their potential. What are your questions? I live in Ghana, West Africa. irenebarthur@yahoo.com
