We are truly thrilled to share with you the wonderful accomplishment of our dashing colleague, Mamadou Diallo, who won the Education Award at the Merseyside Black History Month Achievers Awards 2010 held at the prestigious St George’s Hall, Saturday 9th October. The Education Award is bestowed upon an adult who has overcome obstacles to achieve success in education. 

	Mamadou has certainly overcome many obstacles; more than any of us should have to endure, having fled from repression in his native Guinea, West Africa. Here in the UK he has since completed a four-year Masters in Telecommunications Engineering, graduating this summer with First Class flying colours from Liverpool John Moores University. Mamadou has just embarked on a three year PhD program in Asset Management within the Utilities Industry, with the help of a full bursary offered by the same university.
	What an inspiration to us all ‘Doctor Diallo’
		SPEECH!!! SPEECH!!!!   “…I am delighted that I won this award. My gratitude to Asylum Link Merseyside for nominating me ... I could not have completed my degree without the constant support of my beautiful fiancée Sigita, Merseyside Network for Change, my friend, Manuela, and so many others, and I am proud to be part of this multicultural city.”
