Meet Duku Foré

Meet Duku Foré


Duku talks too much. He was only 10 years old when his family emigrated from a Ugandan refugee camp to Australia. As a refugee, life in Australia had already been proving to be difficult. But Duku had a lot of dreams, and nothing – not being a victim of bullying, nor his speech impediment and being expelled from his school – could stop him from going after everything he has ever dreamed of.

Even though life in Australia was hard, Duku always had his loving family by his side. Together, they overcame the different culture shocks by learning the new language, getting used to the new foods and making a life for themselves. Their parent’s sacrifice and work ethics were the inspiration Duku and his six siblings needed to help ignite their dreams.

An inspiring figure, join Duku as he discusses his story that will move and amuse you as he discovers his rich dreams.

Books will be available for purchase on the day (cash only sales), or bring your copy from home for Duku to sign.
