He mentioned that the donor, who is based outside the country, originally gave cash towards snacks for the pupils but convinced her to approve channeling the cash donation towards new uniforms.

A donor's kind deed

''Miss Maame Christian, a beautiful Ghanaian woman who is not based in the country, was impressed and touched with the relationship I have with my school kids. She sent me a token of snacks for my kids as an appreciation.

''But, I insisted and persuaded her if we could channel the token for school uniforms for other kids who are not in my class but still needed school uniforms. Joyfully, she agreed. Here we are as we made ten beautiful school uniforms for the students,'' his post read.

It is not the first time the teacher has given students at his school uniforms. Earlier this year, he gave six pupils new school uniforms through the help of another donor.
