Meet Mr. Danso of @bettervision

BUT is just a word you use when you are afraid to try

Charles Danso Kumi is fourth year clinical student of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology. He is top of his class and a great philanthropist with a big heart. He is one of the greatest minds behind the @bettervision agenda and the movement of charitable service admistration. He is almost always around for all outreaches that @bettervision goes, very amenable to sacrificing his time for the betterment of others.

He is fan of medical movies, on the top of the list is Grey’s Anatomy followed by The Good Doctor and the Resident, you would hardly meet him playing games or engaged with electronic gadgets for anything other than enjoying some movies for a break or busily engrossed in text books, trying to crack the next eerie visual case. His favorite Philosophy goes like this,” An Unexamined life, is not worth living”.

You are not born a winner neither are you born a loser, you are born a chooser
