At the time on Legon campus, Malor was ''without food on many occasions, simply because there was little or no money''.

''I even started to convince myself that I studied best on an empty stomach,'' he said.

However, Malor reveals that Sister Yaavi and her sister came to his rescue during his time of great financial difficulty.

According to him, Yaavi sold boiled beans, with gari, or with fried plantain for those who could afford ''the extras'', but also made provision for students like him who could not afford.

Coming from a financially challenged background, Malor struggled to fend for himself on campus. However, Sister Yaavi and her younger sister Ameyo, often gave him free food.

''Sometimes it was just a top-up whenever they realised I didn’t have enough money. So, if a normal portion of the beans combo cost ten cedis but I turned up with only five cedis – probably my remaining money for a while - they would sense my predicament and still serve me as if I had brought a ten cedi note. They were like my own sisters,'' he said.

Ben Dotsei Malor, who currently works as the Chief Editor - Dailies of the UN News at the United Nations, paid a visit to Sister Yaavi in Kisseman in the Greater Accra Region to say ''thank you'' to her.
