Fellow Rotarians,
The Rotary Club of Akron is pleased to host Wisdom as a speaker at our luncheon meeting on April 14th at noon (doors open at 11:45 AM).
Please RSVP to Club President Katy Miller at Katymiller218@gmail.com or 330-620-4098 by noon on Friday, April 10th.
Wisdom’s journey with Rotary began in 2010–2011, when he was interviewed on behalf of District 6630 as a candidate for the Rotary Peace Fellow program. From the outset, he was supported by multiple clubs across the district, recognizing his strong potential and commitment to peacebuilding.
Despite not yet holding a college degree at the time, his leadership and dedication led to his selection for the professional development certificate in Peace and Conflict Studies at the Rotary Peace Center at Chulalongkorn University in Thailand.
He has since continued to build an impressive academic and professional path, earning both his undergraduate degree and a Master’s in Peace Studies through the Rotary Peace Center at International Christian University in Japan.
Over the years, continued support from clubs across the district has helped advance Wisdom’s work, bringing PeaceJam programming to schools in the Upper West Region of Ghana. This includes successful PeaceJam Slam conferences in 2024 and 2025, with further expansion planned.
In addition to his work with students, educators, and mentors, Wisdom is currently leading efforts to establish the West Africa Center for Peace in Ghana, further advancing peace education and leadership development in the region.
Lunch is $20. We meet at the Greek Annunciation Church, 129 S Union St., Akron, OH 44314. If you cannot attend the DLA and still want to hear from him this is a great opportunity.
Please RSVP to Club President Katy Miller at Katymiller218@gmail.com or 330-620-4098 by noon on Friday, April 10th.
Yours truly,
Katy
