A vulcanizer has amazed social media users after he was seen teaching a young boy English on a board at his shop near a principal street in his area.

The photo that was sighted by YEN.com.gh in the popular Facebook group TroTro Diaries surprised the members mainly because vulcanizers are part of the professions perceived by most people as reserved for the uneducated.
