Join us for a special event on Saturday, June 3 at 5:15pm featuring Patrick Asare, author of The Boy from Boadua: One African’s Journey of Hunger and Sacrifice In Pursuit of a Dream.

The Boy from Boadua is a true story of growing up in the remote Ghanaian village of Boadua and one man's journey on the pursuit of higher education. Faced with poverty, hunger, and other obstacles, Patrick dedicated his free time to studying and was able to pass the common entrance exam to attend an elite secondary school. From there he was able to receive an engineering degree in the Soviet Union before making his way to the United States where he taught Russian and math. His story reads as an adventure story that is full of inspiration and hope.
