-
- How To
Ousman Umar had a dream: to go to paradise. Be careful what you wish for. At 12-years old, Ousman left his remote village in Ghana and set out to get to Europe. Over the next five years, he was dumped in the middle of the Sahara Desert where many of his friends died. He was beaten and imprisoned in Benghazi, Libya, where many of his friends died. He was shipwrecked trying to get to the Canary Islands, where most all of his friends died. But he was never alone... until he got to paradise. "In Barcelona, nobody looked me in the eyes. Nobody answered my greetings. I slept in the streets, in winter, for two good months." Today, Ousman says, "I'm the President of my world." And with his presidential power, Ousman is changing the world, our world.
