At a second book signing in Boston, social studies At a second book signing in Boston, social studies educators attending the NCSS from across the USA picked up copies of my children's story Crossing the Stream to take to their classrooms. Stories truly do connect cultures - many voices,  many stories,  one world.

the impact of illegal mining on our environment and public health is a major concern for Ghanaians.  As a healthcare professional and a concerned citizen, I'm just as troubled as most by the contamination of rivers like Bonsa; Not only are precious ecosystems being destroyed, but there are also grave health risks and loss of livelihoods to local communities. 

This tragic short- term thinking has such long-term consequences. How can this be allowed to go on? My heartache led me to explore environmental exploitation in my most recent children's book -  Flying Up the Mountain, where my 12-year old hero and his friends confront similar ecological threats on a beautiful island. 

In a visit to Wli last year,  I stood on the banks of this clear, pristine stream. The gurgling water  whispered a reminder to me about what we must all strive to protect. 
Wouldn't it be wonderful if all our rivers could run as clear as this? 
Let's all do what we can to stop this unbridled degradation of our environment, and preserve our lands and waters for the generations that will follow us.

Happy International Youth Day! Reflecting on the Happy International Youth Day!

Reflecting on the year's (2024) theme, From Clicks to Progress: Youth Digital Pathways for Sustainable Development.

How often have we lamented the time young people spend behind screens? Yet, there's a transformative side to this scenario. Today’s youth are leading the charge in digital innovation, and their contributions are pivotal in advancing sustainable development. In my roles as the Director of Patholab Medical Laboratory and as a fiction writer for children and young adults, I am continually impressed by how digital tools can amplify the impact of young people when they are empowered. This International Youth Day, let’s pledge to support them in turning their screen time into meaningful progress!
