Dear Abeeku

Dear Abeeku,

In this cold April night, in Prague, I remember your magic smile...

The silence in the middle of the night helps to breathe, escape from the daily rush; and also helps to concentrate our minds on the projects ahead, that after so much effort are finally becoming reality. And in this precise moment, I am imagining your smile and  I still cannot believe you had to  leave us a few days ago, unexpectedly.

We are still trying to understand why, and how... as if there was a hidden answer... and the answer is another challenge to be solved with perseverance, optimism and patience, like you use to guide us, to explore solutions to bring clean energy and wealth to families in rural Ghana, to families in West Africa and the World.

Dear Abeeku, dear professor, my admired Ghanaian “father”, rest in peace and be sure that we will keep your light shinning; we will celebrate the memory of your magic smile in every step we take to make energy available to each and everyone.
