I am Charles Owusu it was a great experience as a child living with 2 parents my mother was a trader and my father was a fire officer. So I had the feeling of being an entrepreneur and being an employee. At early age it was my dream to start my own business since my father was always not at so I knew there was a a lot freedom being self employed. This inspired me to pick up business as a course of study at Kumasi Anglican Senior High school,After my basic education at unity prepatory school and sweet home Academy in mampong ashanti and Kasoa in the Central region respectively all in Ghana. After graduating at koforidua polytechnic with High National Diploma in Accountancy the scarcity of job motivated me to start a business business venture in order to earn a living and also help solve the unemployment situation in my country. Ghana has diverse cultures with great people and food. The people are largely hospitable they all feel great being a Ghanaian.
