Because of the financial hardships he experienced, Kofi has developed a concern for those who live in deprived communities and do not have the privilege of education. He envisages himself as a “philanthropist to bring smiles on the faces of poor underprivileged people in Ghana and Africa.”
Kofi believes that every successful achievement requires a great amount of determination. His career goal is to become a development-oriented conservation activist, working with research-based groups in the fields of forest and biodiversity conservation, as a way of improving the economy of Ghana and Africa, while ensuring sustainability. The Master of Sustainable Forest Management Program interests him because it focuses on placing conservation attention on forest resources. Motivated by the devastating decrease in Ghana’s natural resources, he is determined to ensure that the forest resources are managed sustainably.
