Produktbeschreibung

This is the story of Boas Fernando, who was born in the woods without medical assistance or facilities of any kind as his parents were internally displaced by devastating civil war in Angola. At eight, after returning to their home town, he went through a horrible two-week journey, walking barefoot through the thick tropical forest of Angola to seek asylum in Zambia as a refugee.

He spent his adolescence and young adulthood confined in a refugee camp, with limited life opportunities and exposure to modern technology. With the hope of a better life, he dedicated his time to school. Fortunately for him, Ali McKeon, an American woman Boas had never met, sponsored him to go to college, changing his life from a camp refugee to one in a successful corporate career. Today, Boas holds a Master's degree in international management from Liverpool University, after his successful completion of a first degree in NGO Management from Cavendish University.

As he reflects on his life journey, Boas is passionate about promotion of college and skill-building education for smart young, underprivileged Africans. By buying a copy of this book, you are helping Boas to send young Africans to college through the Ali McKeon Scholarship, he has created in order to help them pursue their dreams. Thank you for your contribution to this cause!
