Mr Kofi A Annan

As a child, Annan's primary education occurred at the Mfantsipim School, a Methodist institution in Ghana. "There, I was privileged to have teachers who understood the value of knowledge infused with a moral purpose," he said. "They knew that learning and education are the strongest bulwarks against evil and ignorance. "And they taught me, in the spirit of faith," he added, "that suffering anywhere concerns people everywhere and that the light of one candle can truly illuminate the world."  More..
