Ashesi President, Patrick Awuah, was asked to speak to the District Rotary Conference in Portland last month about Ashesi and what he has learned from the experience of founding the university.
During his speech, Patrick encouraged the audience to consider development projects that may take a decade or more to fully realize their potential. He spoke about the need for the global community to exercise patience when investing in these types of projects.
Patrick's complete speech is available on Ashesi's youtube channel. The video is courtesy of Media & Design - MediaDesignSeattle.com.
