About Me   About Me
Michael Baompong, an undergraduate student of the University of Cape Coast, is the Founder and Executive Director of Young People We Care (YPWC).

He participated in the recently-held Civil Society Day of the Global Forum on Migration and Development in Belgium where he made a strong case for youth migration.

He was nominated in 2006 by the Task Force Committee of the UN-Non Governmental Liaison service to present a paper on Migration and Development at the UN Headquarters in New York.

He was also a youth delegate to the 2007 Global Forum on Migration and Development and also the Regional Consultation on Migration, Remittances and Development in Africa. He is an ardent believer in youth empowerment and believes that if the youth are not empowered now, the world’s future will be nothing to write home about.

Michael is currently an Advisory Board member of the Bangladesh Youth Parliament and also a contributoreditorial member of the young people version of the UN Human Development Report, 2006 (a UN Book Project which was been contracted to Peace Child International)

His desire to see to the well being of the youth in the world which has been given a major boost by the introduction of the Millennium Development Goals, continues to spur him on to greater heights as he renders unconditional services to humanity aimed at making the world a better place for all.

After successfully completing an E-course in Project Management and Grant/Proposal Writing, his organizational abilities have been enhanced which he concedes, ‘I have been able to organize series of programmes and fora on HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and the Millennium Development Goals, thanks to the knowledge I acquired from the course’. He has his eyes on Development Planning as a career path.
