Tantoh has always been curious about the whys and hows about growing things. Eventually he is able to go to college and then travel all over Cameroon helping people in small villages do big things and small things to help make their lives better.
As interesting and important I find Tantoh’s story – especially because he is a young man who is still making a difference in Cameroon, the writing is so stiff that this is almost impossible to read aloud to a class at any level. I want to share this with my middle school science teachers, but I know they will also find it forced.
