Logan Libraries is celebrating Harmony Week on Monday with a “Human Book of Logan” event from 10am to 11am.
The event is in-person at Logan Central Library or online.
A Human Book is where people share their stories, and Duku Fore, pictured, will be sharing positive and curious conversations.
Questions from the audience are expected, appreciated and will be answered by Duku.
Duku’s story is about a refugee born with a speech impediment.
He and his family of 10 immigrated to Australia in 2007 and came to the City of Logan where he went to school and learnt how to speak English.
He struggled to become fluent and was often bullied leading him to lash out physically and resulting finally in his expulsion from school.
This led to Duku realising he had to make a change in his life and turn it around.
He worked hard to master English and later became an accomplished public speaker, the author of two books and a representative at the United Nations Youth Assembly.
Bookings for Duku’s session are essential and can be made online at loganlibraries.org/whats-on
Participants can choose whether to tune in online or attend the Logan Central Library session.
