Ghana Session With Special Guest Weldon A. Powell
Students at Asbury Park HS and Ghana did a joint session with Chief of Detectives for the NJ Division of Criminal Justice, Weldon A. Powell
Last Friday Mr. Wronko and his students at the Asbury Park High School along with Papa Williams and his students at the Solid Rock Foundation School in Ghana did a joint session with Chief of Detectives for the New Jersey Division of Criminal Justice, Weldon A. Powell.
Project Ghana with Weldon A. Powell
CEO of Oiada International, Eric Jones, began the session by thanking Mr. Powell for taking his time out to speak to all of the students. From there, Mr. Wronko welcomed Mr. Powell to Project Ghana.
Mr. Powell began the session by talking about his field of work which immediately caught the attention of all students. Besides talking about his field of work, Mr. Powell wanted to not only hear student questions but also their interests as well.
Powell’s profession
During this session, many things were discussed such as how Mr. Powell investigated cyber and environmental crimes.
He also mentioned about working long cases that were not solved overnight. Also Mr. Powell asked all students how they were handling the pandemic and what measures they were taking to stay safe. In addition, my students shared their interests with Mr. Powell and explained that they would be interested in doing his line of work. Papa Williams explained that if Mr. Powell were to come to Ghana, he recommended that he visit Cape Coast as well as participate in the many festivals. One festival very popular in Ghana was Panafest.
In closing, Mr. Powell encouraged all students to become fully engaged in their studies because they could work for him in the near future. For example, he explained that when he investigated environmental crimes, he needed future chemists to determine what chemicals were used when illegal things were dumped. He encouraged all students that they could major in chemistry as well as criminal justice, law, and even medicine.
All students, myself, Papa Williams, and Oiada International would like to thank Mr. Weldon A. Powell for having such an engaging session.
Special Thanks To My Star Students and their participation:
