Sobre IBD

This inspiring story tells of the courage of a young Ghanaian boy who, having failed to achieve his aim to become a medical doctor by attending a university in Ghana or by virtue of a scholarship to the USSR, raised funds by working on a building site in Nigeria to pay for a daring flight to East Berlin-a route by which he realised his dreams and became a medical doctor in Germany. The story goes right back to the time when the young Ghanaian schoolboy had to face a catalogue of difficulties and challenges, surviving illnesses and horrendous treatments by traditional witch-doctors, and attending school in spite of having to cross remote bush paths. It is an uplifting and encouraging book, showing how faith in God and a firm goal together with perseverance will lead to success
