Samuel Quarcoo, 71, outside his Rockville home. For years he has financially supported schools and children in his native Ghana, and has also been a waiter at Woodmont Country Club since 1975. (Sarah L. Voisin/The Washington Post)
Samuel Quarcoo’s crusade started by happenstance in 1999, when a third-grade teacher asked him to visit her class and give a presentation about Ghana, his African homeland.
Quarcoo, who lives in Rockville, Md., was then a math teacher at Wheaton Woods Elementary School in Montgomery County. He showed the kids some photos of his old neighborhood school in Ghana and explained that the students often did not have basic supplies such as pencils and notebooks.
