both the United States and in Africa. He has recently completed a technical book, International Environmental Consulting Practice, published by John Wiley & Sons in 1998.

Dr. Peter A. Sam is an internationally known advocate for sound environmental and human capacity development for marginalized communities in Africa. He coined the phase “Humanity does not have any boarders” to underscore his vision and mission, and introduced the concept of Enviro-spirituality which is underscored by what he calls christo-centricism. Along these lines, he initiated the first Humanitarian Mission from the US led by African-American Doctors and founded and designed the African-American Doctors for Africa and the African-American Firefighters for Africa programs. Unprecedented in the history of the African-American community in the United States, these programs marked an historic event in 1998 when Dr. Peter A. Sam in concert with Cleaver II, Mayor of Kansas City, Missouri led a delegation of medical practitioners and trade delegates to Ghana.

Dr. Peter A. Sam is well respected in many circles. In 1995, Dr. Peter A.

Andrew Young. Similarly, 1996.

In 1995, Dr. Peter A. Sam advocated immensely to US Senate on the policy neglect to Africa and to the Sub-committee on foreign appropriation headed by Sen. Jessie Helms.

Dr. Peter A. Sam is a man of integrity, a “born leader” and a man with extra-ordinary talent and leadership. His broad-base cultural and traditional experiences provide him with a critical knowledge when it comes to issues of Cultural Diversity. His ability to organize, communicate effectively with local, national and international audience and the public through different media such as national television, radio and the print media exemplifies this man’s abilities to communicate effectively to the public and the world.

In 2000, Dr. Peter A. Sam was nominated for the Environmental Excellency Award under the Ghana Millennium Awards.

Dr. Peter A. Sam strives to build upon the positive synergies that reside between socio-economic development, human health capacity building and environmental preservation/management. This has led him to develop a pilot demonstration Sustainable Ecological Project in partnership with the Mount Herob Ministries at the Mamfe Akwapim district in Ghana. The project seeks to develop a sustainable ecological, sustainable development and economic development through utilization of workable hypothesis within the dynamics of a developing country.

Dr. Peter A. Sam also seeks to develop economic development and eradicate poverty through the establishment of an innovative and comprehensive environmental management laboratory-testing establishment in Ghana. Under this premise, Dr. Peter A. Sam believes that environmental management and human health capacity building runs parallel to economic development and thus it is a prescription for developing countries in Sub-Saharan Africa.
