A space to commemorate the life of our Teaching Assistant, Ms Effort, who passed away on 24th February, survived by her son and husband, parents and many loving communities.

Ms Effort made a huge contribution to the lives of students over the five years she worked at British School of Lomé, where she worked passionately, tirelessly and kindly. Her beaming smile and good humour welcomed the children to school each morning, and her compassion was ever-present throughout each school day in the classroom. 

She loved all the children in her classes over the years clearly and dearly. When they struggled, she provided them with gentle and caring support, always in an empathetic way. In class, she assisted with the day-to-day running – often taking the reins, and she provided guidance and friendship to the many teachers she worked with. She was popular with other Teaching Assistants and could often be seen sitting on the bench laughing with colleagues in the playground. She was trusted and treasured too by parents across the school community, many of whom knew her personally.

Ms Effort was much loved and will be hugely missed.
