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.
A few days after his visit, the teacher informed him that her students wanted to donate money to buy school supplies for a few classrooms in Ghana, where the poverty rate was then about 39 percent, he said.
Samuel Quarcoo is a waiter at Woodmont Country Club in Rockville, Maryland, where he has worked since 1975. He is also a part-time teacher in the area. A native of Ghana, where he walked barefoot to school, he immigrated to the U.S. through the generosity of an aunt and earned a master’s degree in teaching.
In 1999, after telling some of his students about the plight of students in Ghana, they decided to donate money to buy school supplies for them. Quarcoo then chose to continue sending supplies to three schools in his native land. For years, as the
Washington Post reports, “he quietly bought backpacks, paper, and crayons on his own and shipped them to school administrators.”
