Wonder Sokpoli, aka “Saparto”, has been part of the amazing Help Me Learn Africa (HMLA) team since 2018. Originally from a small town in the Volta region in Ghana called Keta, he moved to Ada after graduating from Junior High School seeking career opportunities.
At this time, he started working at Maranatha Beach Camp as a waiter and cultural dancer, whilst also attending college and eventually completing his diploma in business studies. Saparto speaks 4 different languages within Ghana and is fluent in English.
Saparto has been managing projects for HMLA since 2018, and works for the charity full time. He oversees projects based in Ghana and successfully managed building and teaching projects with groups of over 30 volunteers at a time.
His organisational skills mean that is in charge of running all project operations, risk assessments and safety. He’s a friendly and reliable point of contact who makes sure that all our volunteers are well looked after.
He has been quoted by past volunteers as:
