Today so many African have traveled overseas for greener pastures looking for a better life and better future for themselves and their family. Some do remember to come home and others chose not to have anything to do with Africa anymore. Today is a special day meant to celebrate those small heroes who went out of their way to look for greener pastures for themselves and their families not minding the risk involved and especially those who came back to help make their motherland a success. They are the true hidden heroes that help us develop Africa each day.
