“The story is our escort; without it we are blind. Does the blind man own his escort? No neither do we the story, rather it is the story that owns us and directs us” Chinus Achebe, Nigerian novelist

"Our continent's vastness holds many thousands of unsung heroes, who move mountains to bring hope, vision and progress to our communities. Yet have they told their stories? Who has heard them? Have enough of us heard them? Have they received our respect, our acknowledgement and support? The People of Africa Foundation offers a global canvass to our triumphant if unexalted story-tellers, thereby giving hope and courage to all".
