A short introduction

Kovi comes from a small village in West Africa. After he receives his university education in his home country, he embarks on a journey that takes him around the world in pursuit of higher education and happiness. Throughout his journey, he carries a part of his culture, which he refuses to give up. After years of living abroad, making new friends, and working, Kovi must answer the ultimate question..."where is home?" He must also cope with brain drain—and how his education, research, and expertise might benefit his country and the people of Africa.
