And the message here is clear: Every success story starts with a dream, and Right to Dream want to inspire dreamers like Francis Atuahene by sharing his inspirational story.
The Right to Dream Group, headed by Manchester United's former head scout in Africa, Tom Vernon, aim to provide transformational life changing opportunities for the next generation of leaders.
