Our book, Those Who Inspire Côte d’Ivoire, is a huge success in the country

 

Our Those Who Inspire Côte d’Ivoire book, published in March 2023, included 44 local inspiring people. It was a huge success and Prime Minister Patrick Achi, introduced the book:

 

“What patriotic pride grips me when I look at our country! This land of light from which we draw every day our desire to build and its centuries-old roots which carry us and unite us. Our country is now moving forward so quickly, driven by the same collective thirst for progress, the heart swollen with hope for its future, peace in all hearts. It is for Côte d’Ivoire, a new age of prosperity. What a journey we have made in a decade, thanks to the impetus and leadership of one man, President Alassane Ouattara, and the efforts of an entire people who wanted to dream and shine again! And what a long way to go! Like one man, the entire nation turns towards the young generation, this new blood of the homeland, who are pawing with legitimate impatience at the gates of life. We owe this force of the future to education, the teaching of excellence, the transmission of an extraordinary national and continental ambition.”

 

He also mentioned that the stories we portraited should not only embolden the youth but also inspire them. “They teach us that the most diverse trajectories flourish when they are guided by the same positive desire: the color of our lives does not matter, as long as the desire to act well presides.”

 

We would like to thank all partners in Côte d’Ivoire that made this publication a reality and all those Inspiring People involved in the several Inspiring Days we are having throughout the country.
