A 56-year-old Ghanaian cobbler called Opani Sarfo who could not endure the lockdown exercise because of extreme hunger broke down in tears on camera after receiving a gift of GHC1,000.
The father of five children was blessed with the gift by individuals in Virginia, USA, under the auspices of the Crime Check Foundation under the leadership of Ibrahim Oppong Kwarteng.
Opani Sarfo was spotted in his cobbler shop which was in violation of the lockdown exercise put in place by President Nana Akufo-Addo to contain the spread of COVID-19.

When asked why he was there to work, Sarfo mentioned that he did not have anything at home and hunger was killing his family.
According to Opani Sarfo, he was hoping to be able to make about GHC5 for the day, which his family would use to buy some rice and cook for the day.
This explains why the old man broke down in tears after the Crime Check Foundation boss handed him GHC1,000 cedis to take care of his family in these hard times of the COVID-19 crisis.
