About Me   About Me
Having grown up in Ghana and lived in the Sweden and the United States of America, Michael has spent many years drifting between the developing and the developed world, and feel lucky to have had such different experiences. In his own words he mentions that “while I've ended up as a sort of cultural hybrid, one of the things I've learned is that we're all more similar than we think and are bound by many common dreams and visions for a better world”. Michael Boampong is the Founder of the Ghanaian-based NGO Young People We Care (YPWC) where he currently serves as Board Member and Advisor. He is pursuing a Masters Degree in Development Studies at Uppsala University. He is an ardent believer in youth empowerment and believes that if the youth are not empowered now, the world will not realize any meaningful development. He is passionate about social entrepreneurship, social networks for development, youth development, migration and development, imagination, and making a difference. Michael has work experience with international organizations such as the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and UNICEF Rural Voices of Youth. He has his eye on being a Youth Development and Migration Expert. I diversify my spare time between music,watching movies, reading books and discussing global justice.
