This is the story of an impossible dream that came true. It starts with a ten-year-old boy in Ghana stumbling on an encyclopedia entry about the founders of the Mayo Clinic, Dr. William Mayo and his two sons, in a far-off place called Minnesota. He decides that one day, when he grows up, he will work there. Although the odds are stacked against him, he dreams of becoming a doctor, oblivious to the many obstacles he will encounter before it can come true. This is a story of how Kofi Boahene, son of a salesman and a bank teller, met and overcame those obstacles with the help of proverbial Good Samaritans that seemed to pop up at just the right moment. Sustained by his faith and devotion to his parents and seven younger siblings, Dr. Boahene pursued his impossible dream until it came true. He has been described by CNN as "The Man Who Rebuilds Faces," and his example is inspiring a new generation of African students to follow in his footsteps.
