Monday September 23, from 5-6pm at Providence Farm Collective and the social hour is after the tour. https://providencefarmcollective.org https://www.hamburgbrewing.com If you haven't visited Providence Farm Collective and seen in person what has been accomplished in a few short years by newly settled refugees, this tour is for you. After the tour all are invited to Hamburg Brewing Company for a social hour. food and drinks are available at the breweryafter that. To see the incredible success story of one great idea and a bunch of committed refugees is a wonderful thing and the food they grow is amazing. Also the Monday Market is on from 3-6 that day at the Burton Rd. facility. https://providencefarmcollective.org/farmersmarket/ BSR has done some things for PFC - equipment purchase, and had a tour there a few years back, but not recently. Hoping for a good BSR turnout. Please let Barbara O know if you and a friend, partner, neighbor etc. can attend! We need YOU!!

The mission of HOSIKIDS is to enrich the lives of uninsured and underprivileged school children by providing access to basic quality education and primary healthcare. Over the past five years HOSIKIDS has partnered with the University at Buffalo School of Management’s Global program on a humanitarian mission to Ghana. The partnership includes medical teams, students and faculty members and citizens of Erie County, NY, who provide medical services and supplies, educational supplies and tutorial services to the community.

As a manager in the USFWS, Kofi was actively involved in training activities at the National Conservation Training Center in WV, on leadership, community outreach and engagement, and diversity.

He’s a Mentor for the National Fish and Wildlife Friends Group, an organization that works with NGOs supporting the National Wildlife Refuge System, and provides leadership support to their Board of Directors. In addition, he’s a Mentor for the Men of Merit Mentoring Program at the Erie Community College, Buffalo NY, helping to foster excellence, distinction and integrity in students, while encouraging them to stay in college, advance academically, and serve their community as they become the men they aim to be. He’s also a member of the Board of Directors of Amherst Meals on Wheels, which helps to provide the nutritional support needed for elderly and adults with disabilities living in the Town of Amherst, NY, to maintain their independence in their home environment. In 2020 Kofi started a tour business, Center of the World Tours, which leads tours to Ghana to raise funds for his humanitarian work. He’s also a member of the Rotary Club of Buffalo Sunrise. Kofi has received several recognitions for his leadership in the Great Lakes region, including, Invest in People Award; Conserving America’s Fisheries Award; Milford "Pinky" Robinson Memorial Award; Promoting Our Natural Resources Award; and Diversity Award. He holds a PhD in Ecology from the University of California, Davis; MS in Biology from the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse; and BS in Fishery Science from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
