Ghanaian born Nana Konadu-Asare residing in USA, was one of two winners of this year’s prestigious Quint Studer Difference Maker Award.
Sharing her derring-do with Presspeep.com all the way from the States, elated Miss Nana Konadu-Asare said, “This is a nationally recognized award where there were 250 nominees. Of the 250, there were two recipients and NaNa’s Project was one of the winners.”
Miss Nana Konadu-Asare was born in Accra, Ghana. At age two (2), she immigrated to the United States with her mother. She’s currently a college student pursuing a career in Medicine while simultaneously working full time in the Emergency Department as an Emergency Medical Technician.
She’s very passionate about alleviating the agonies of sick and feeble ones who cannot afford medical care due to financial constraints – hence, formation of NaNa’s Project. Her vision is to use NaNa’s Project to remove barriers to quality medical care by educating, training, and importation of medical supplies to poor and needy communities and healthcare facilities into Ghana.
