Yawa sits on the board of Ashesi University College, serves on the Advisory Board, Women's Institute for Global Leadership, Benedictine University, founder of the Leading Ladies Network (LLN), a member of the African Leadership Network and the World Economic Forum’s Global Shapers Community. She is a force to reckon with in the education and well being of the girl child. ==Early life== Yawa is the oldest daughter of a Ghanaian politician who was forced to flee the country in the early 1980s mid the season of political turmoil. She lived her early life as a refugee in Togo and then in the United States. Like many African refugees forced to flee their continent, Yawa was raised between two cultures and internalized both. It was not an easy time for Yawa, living under the trust that they would return home when it was much safer, yet this bi-cultural childhood molded who she is today. Yawa returned home at last in 1996 as an adolescent. The dialect and cultural barriers prevented her associations with other African-brought up youngsters. The restricted advancement opportunities accessible for African young ladies rapidly got to be evident to Yawa and after her guardians isolated and the family fell on troublesome budgetary times, she needed to bolster the family and care for her dad who turned out to be sick with cancer. Despite these hardships Yawa had a supportive network in her father, a best friend and her mentor from the US Junior Achievement programme. This mentor saw so much potential in her that she paid Yawa’s school fees during the family’s financial crises so that she could remain in school. School for Yawa was an outlet for her leadership potential and creative energy. Her maturity and responsibility was rewarded with a number of roles in student government. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yawa Hansen-Quao」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
