Children are indeed future leaders. 15-year-old Adom Appiah not only boasts of the title of the author but is also the founder of Ball4Good, a nonprofit organization supporting communities through sports.
The teenager recently won a young hero award and a cash prize of N3.6 million to support the activities of his organization which he began when he was 12. His organization began as a 7th-grade project, which Appiah thought to bring together local and celebrity athletes to play ball and in essence, raise money for local communities.
With the help of his mentor, Mary Thomas, he has successfully raised over N25 million for 16 local communities. His effort earned him a spot as one of the young heroes of this generation and he was honored with a national award.
