A daughter of a charcoal seller in La in the Greater Accra region has gained a scholarship to study at the Ghana International School (GIS).
Considering her family's financial condition, it would not have been possible for Jennifer to study at GIS since the school is for children from very affluent homes.
Jennifer got a full scholarship to study at Soul Clinic International School earlier.
