"The True Story of Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah"
Emmanuel was born with one functioning leg. His mother ensured he was self-sufficient by encouraging him to pursue life, not permitting his disability to hinder him. For example, he hopped to and from school -a 2 mile trek, shone shoes to earn money and eventually left his mother and siblings to earn money in the city when his mother fell ill.
As an adult he biked around Ghana to prove that a "disability does not mean an inability".
*Highly recommend.
