IF I WEREN'T TALKING TO YOU, RIGHT NOW I'D BE... Having fun at the Central Park playground with some children from the Plymouth BME (black and minority ethnic) population. I'M GOOD AT... Teaching children about religion and different culture. BUT I'M BAD AT... My accent – it is very strong. WINNING THE AWARD WAS... A surprise. I have dedicated it to Tracey, who is very patient when I am out volunteering, and my friend Jeff, who is very encouraging. I WISH PEOPLE WOULD TAKE NOTICE OF... The fact that not everybody who comes here is a refugee or asylum seeker. Many people come here as students, like I did, and when they finish their course they want to give something back. That is why I volunteer. TEN YEARS AGO I WAS... Working as a logistics manager and teaching in Accra (the capital of Ghana) and living in Tema, a city on the coast. IN TEN YEARS' TIME I WANT TO BE... A university lecturer and more involved with the Plymouth-Ghana link. I am a member of the link but I would like to do a lot more. We can all learn about each other's culture. IF I WERE A POLITICIAN... I would give the power back to parents so they could control their children better. That (lack of power) leads to a lot of anti-social behaviour. THE RECESSION IS... Really, really upsetting. It happened so unexpectedly and is affecting us all. It has affected my work. I now work part-time on security at events. And it has affected Tracey's work as a carer. ON TELEVISION I NEVER MISS... Jeremy Kyle and Question Time. PLYMOUTH'S GREAT BECAUSE... Of its cleanliness and its seafront. I can walk down to the seafront to get rid of stress, which I used to do at Tema as well. IF I COULD CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT THE CITY... I would get rid of the racism and discrimination. The whole world is a global village. Britain is such a developed country. I did not expect there to be racism and discrimination here in the 21st century.
