This documentary is one of the best I have seen. I'm not a student of
International Relations or Diplomacy, but Kofi Annan taught anyone who
cared to watch a thing or two about respect, conflict resolution,
mediation, interpersonal interactions, and ...love. He puts this all into
practice. And it seems to work most of the time. He said it, his skills
stem from the teachings of his father (through use of proverbs) and other
people around him when he was growing up in Ghana. I was watching with my
kids and they told me that they learned a lot from the President of the
World and felt so proud to be African.

Aggo, thank you for letting us know about this program. The kids got to
stay up late for a good reason.
