Paschal Kyoore: Teaching, Scholarship, and Service

I prefer to do things quietly. That is my style, and that is the approach with which I am comfortable. A Dagara proverb admonishes us in the following terms: “A koli kyâpulé puÉ na a tîîkpeh mi be” [it is in the tiny bottles that one usually finds the most potent medicines]. The moral of the proverb is that fewer words often convey more sense; the person often regarded as insignificant is the one who achieves great things, and behind the scenes.
