Charles is from Ghana, West Africa. After high school, he served a 2-year full-time mission in Uganda. He traveled to and stayed in many areas but stayed the longest in Masaka, where he built much love for the people there. In fact, he left Masaka and returned after 4 and half months. After returning home to his mother country, he didn’t even know what he was going to do next. His family couldn’t afford higher education.

Thankfully, he benefited from the significantly reduced cost of higher education provided by Brigham Young University - Idaho (USA) through BYU-Pathway Worldwide! As a token of appreciation, he has been a blessing to many BYU-Pathway students and those around him. Since April 2020, he has volunteered to offer mentorship and support to over 1,000 students (in Africa and beyond) through WhatsApp groups and offer in-person support to those around him. Typically, each week he would create tutorial videos, tips, screenshots, recordings, etc. (Full story: https://bit.ly/3AHKUXa). Now he’s employed as an official Peer Mentor to BYU-Pathway students with over 100 assigned students to offer mentorship and support to each week. He also works at FamilySearch International as a Quality Assurance Specialist for the Africa Area.

Charles loves offering help to others, solving problems, and using technological devices to get things done faster. He is into network and system administration, and social media management. He likes getting busy great. He is at any time schooling, doing one or two main jobs, having other little sources of income, and engaging in several volunteer activities. He has lots of volunteer experience because of his natural tendency to serve and to create an opportunity to serve if there isn’t any. He has lots of intercontinental collaboration experience with school, work, and volunteer projects like working with Kisswa Minds Organisation. He is a certified Advanced-High English speaker by The American Council on Teaching Foreign Languages. His weakness is being too attentive to detail.
