Name: Pearl Enyam Akosua Akude

Age: 24yrs

Profession: Civil Engineer

Nationality: Ghanaian

Hobbies: Reading& watching movies

I was born in the Greater Accra Region though my roots hail from Peki in the Volta Region and Kwabeng in the Eastern Region of Ghana. I had my basic education at St Theresa’s Junior high School and continued to Aburi Girls Secondary School where I pursued Science which kick started my dreams to becoming an Engineer. I graduated from KNUST in 2011 with a BSc in Civil Engineering, a profession I’ve practiced till date. Currently I’m in the Civil Engineering consulting field which specializes in structural design.

I’ve had the opportunity to work as Teaching and Research Assistant for the Provost of the College of Engineering, KNUST. I have also worked on several occasions with the Ghana Institution of Engineers (GhIE) and the Ghana Geotechnical Society (GGS) in the organization of various seminars and conferences aimed at educating and exposing young engineers to upcoming technologies in the field.

I am a firm believer in the fact that everyone has the right to dream and be given the chance to make that dream a reality for himself and to help his fellow man create the opportunity to dream too. It is in this sense of increasing responsibility to inspire and be inspired that I find the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. worth reiterating, that in the mist of our difficulties “Let us not wallow in the valley of despair. I say to you, my friends, we have the difficulties of today and tomorrow”…yet “I still have a dream….”. Africa has a lot to offer to the global economy and this lies on the shoulders of its youth. We the youth of Africa have a responsibility to change the society in which we live. This we can achieve if we graduate from being mere consumers to being manufacturers. Therefore I’ve always sought the chance to offer my support in the best way I can to a worthy cause such as the IHAV foundation and I say without any doubt that many young minds and lives will be transformed through this foundation.
