Andry is currently the Deputy General Coordinator in Charge of Inspection, Promotion, and Integrity, Ministry of Justice.

During his WACNH IVLP experience, he participated in the home hospitality dinner opportunity at a local NH family's home. He was so fortunate to meet the Bradstreet family and to connect with local community members in an informal setting. We were fortunate to also celebrate his birthday (on the day that the IVLP group arrived into NH) with a NH flag cake!

Mrs. Abosede Botoku is currently Chief Magistrate (CM) Botoku for Lagos State Judiciary in Nigeria. Although she has visited the U.S. prior to her IVLP experience, this trip has truly made a lasting impact. During her time in NH, Abosede was able to participate in a home hospitality meal with local NH community members, the Bradstreet family. She and 3 other IVLP colleagues were welcomed into the Bradstreet's home with such warmth, respect, and open arms. She hopes that one day she can return this favor to them. During the meal they exchanged gifts, and now Botoku has an American cookbook to prepare the meals that the family had created for that evening. Abosede is so grateful for the range of professional meetings and cultural opportunities throughout this journey!
