Wellesley Learns How "One Hen" Makes a Difference

Earlier this week, kids from Wellesley Middle School learned about the difference "One Hen" can make.

On Wednesday, the subject of the book "One Hen: How One Small Loan Made a Big Difference" Kwabena Darko, spent part of his day at the Middle School speaking to students about entrepreneurship and helping them make a mural.

The day ended with a book signing at Wellesley Books. 

Darko is visiting area schools to celebrate the fifth anniversary of One Hen, Inc. and a recent accomplishment, 5,000 children served through the One Hen Academy, a program which encourages students to use and pay-off small loans and create marketable products to sell for local or global needs. 

At 6:30 p.m. tonight, Babson College hosts Kwabena Darko. He will receive an award from the director of Babson’s Lewis Institute, Cheryl Kiser. Tickets to the event are $125, and include a buffet dinner, drink and dancing.
