Clovis Tchoufack is a true talent from Cameroon who, although dreaming of becoming a renowned guitarist, managed to make a name for himself in another field: guitar manufacturing. His inspiring story is a testament to his passion for music and his determination to create quality instruments.
In the city of Douala, Tchoufack opened a workshop where he teaches young people the art of guitar making. Its objective is to transmit its knowledge and spread music across the country. Thanks to his artisanal know-how and his in-depth knowledge of woods and materials, he manages to create unique instruments that appeal to local and international musicians.
Another fascinating news story comes from Tunisia, where a German-Tunisian start-up called Bako Motors has created solar-powered electric tricycles. As part of the country’s efforts to reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, these vehicles offer a clean and sustainable mobility alternative. Thanks to solar technology, these tricycles are able to travel around 17,500 km per year, using only solar energy to power their motor.
In Uganda, Mago Hasfa stands out as a literacy specialist and founder of the “Read to Learn” association which focuses on the development of reading and writing in children. His remarkable work has been recognized internationally, allowing him to participate in the Mandela Washington Fellowship training program in the United States. Additionally, its multilingual SOMA app, designed to improve the literacy of refugee children in Uganda, won the prestigious “Beyond the Limits” award in Nigeria.
The story of Mago Hasfa is an inspiring example of the importance of education and literature for the development of disadvantaged children. By providing access to suitable books and an environment favorable to reading, it opens doors and allows these children to fall in love with reading.
These three stories demonstrate the positive impact that motivated individuals can have on their community. Whether through guitar manufacturing, promoting green mobility or supporting children’s education, these people inspire with their passion and dedication. Their work is a reminder that each of us, with our talents and will, can help make a difference. So let’s find our passion and shine our light to inspire the world around us.
