Emmanuel Yeboah

I don't know if you've heard of him, but today, Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah came to our school to talk to us. He his an amazing man from Ghana who was born without a leg.
Here's a wikipedia article about him:
Yeboah was born without a tibia in his right leg. He struggled to overcome the belief in Ghana that a physically disabled had been cursed by a deity. His father deserted his family upon learning of Emmanuel's disability, leaving Emmanuel and his family without a source of income. He refused to beg for money, but instead went to the capitial, Accra, to take a job shining shoes. He applied for a grant in order to get a bicycle, and proceeded to bike across Ghana with one leg. He then went on to changing perceptions about disabled people in Ghana.

How awesome is this guy!!!!!
that's all for today!
