WHO AM I?
My name is Akoli Penoukou. I was born on May 6, 1953. I am Togolese (African) and I am married and have three children, two boys and a girl. A polyglot, I speak English, French, German, and four African languages: Ewe, Twi, Fante and Hausa.
WHAT DO I DO?
I love to write: freelance work, journalism, novels, poems, articles, stories, etc. Besides, I teach Business English at a vocational school teaching High School leavers as middle-level managers. A holder of a masters' degree in sociology (Psycho-sociology of communication), I have devoted most of life (18 years) to business. Right now I am the Manager of Ets Pyramide, an import-export firm expanding into manufacturing, agriculture, services, handicrafts and charitable activities. I also sell antiques on behalf of sister companies here. Concerning writing, I have received a diploma in writing for children and teenagers from The Institute of Children's Literature in Redding Ridge, Connecticut and a certificate of achievement from the National Writers School in the USA for successful completion of their course for writers of fiction and non-fiction.
WHAT ARE MY INTERESTS?
My interests are writing, reading, learning, teaching, music, languages,gardening, clothes and travelling.
WHAT ARE MY FUTURE PLANS?
In freelance writing, I wish to write for as many papers as possible, therefore interested editors should not hesitate to consult my writing sites. I will also like to share work with other writers. Above all I will appreciate the help of mentors in writing fiction, non fiction, poems and books. As a teacher, I will like to teach young African school leavers to go into private enterprise. And as a businessman, to transform my company into a conglomerate with diverse business interests.

MY ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
- I wrote the lyrics of the song WHY I NEED YOU which was sung by Ralph Lowe and released by Crown Music of Columbie Records.
- I succesfully completed the diploma course in writing for children and teenagers with The Institute of Children's Literature (ICL) in Redding Ridge, Connecticut, USA. I also succesfully obtained the Certificate of Achievement on succeesful completion of the Writer's Course with The National Writers'School (NWC) in Aurora, Colorado, USA. During both coures, I published pieces.
- My first piece published in America in 1986 was a puzzle CAN YOU HELP SHEHU? which was one of a 100 pieces chosen among 3000 manuscripts. This was while I studied with ICL. Please check it on this website. The second piece PASSING INTO MANHOOD was accepted for publishing in America in 1988 while I still studied with NWC.
- In the year 2000, a higher institution here asked me to organize Englih language courses for french-speaking working adults interested in learning or polishing their English. The course was so successful that a regional reinsurance company asked us to organize English language courses for their peronnel. They were so ssaisfied that they calledd on me to translate their 2003 Annual report of the Ordinary General Asembly from French into English.
