"Wofa" is Fanti (Ghanaian language) word meaning Uncle. This piece celebrates the so called extended family member who in minuscule ways influenced the intellectual development of that little boy or girl in the village. It celebrates that teachers who hang around to educate that little boy or girl in the village. In the village one could be referred to as an uncle without necessarily being blood related so long he plays that positive role.
