Volunteer of the week

Name: Ammishaddai Ofori

Age: 23

Profession:  Electrical Engineer graduate

Nationality: Ghana

Hobbies: Reading Tech blogs, riting, watching animations and swimming

 Am a recent graduate of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) and an emerging entrepreneur. People often describe me as fun loving and that is because I love to put fun in everything I do to get the deed done. What they don’t know is the effort and commitment I have to put in to make the supposed deed fun “fun”.

I love challenges and the ability to jump and punch a fist in the air when the challenge is done. I am a sucker for bad situations and empathize too easily. I always want to be a part of worthy course which often gets me involved in almost every noble purpose and IHAV foundation is A NOBLE PURPOSE. I have been actively involved in community outreach for the National Society of Black Engineers.

I believe IHAV will solve a lot of challenges in Africa and the world as a whole because it has a vision and it is acting on it.
