Charcoal seller’s son goes to SHS under CCF’s sponsorship

Crime Check Foundation (CCF) has assisted the son of a charcoal seller, Adams Patrick to go to Senior High School.

The 19-year-old Junior High School graduate who gained admission to the Kwahu-Abetifi Technical Institute would have waited for a while as his parents gathered the pennies they made from doing menial jobs to be able to cater for his school needs.

Patrick’s mother, 37-year-old, Terkie Monica sells charcoal and his father digs holes for the erection of light poles, a daunting but unrewarding venture.

Monica and her husband had been finding it difficult to raise enough money for their son to get him items listed on the school’s prospectus.

Despite government’s school fees waiving initiative for education at the secondary level, his parents could not afford miscellaneous expenses that would make his stay in school smooth.

With support from a US-based donor, Linford Amoah Atakora to mark his birthday, CCF supported Patrick’s education with One Thousand Ghana cedis.

The gesture, which was done under the Foundation’s Educational Fund, will cater for items on the young man’s prospectus for his successful enrolment at the Kwahu-Abetifi Technical Institute in the Ashanti Region. Through the Educational Fund, Crime Check Foundation has sponsored hundreds of students at different levels of education.
