Wow, may your helper locate you!

Let's trend this on X, bro. We'll get a good samaritan to come to his aid. He needs to go to school.

Sankofa Hene said:

If he or she has a passion for mechanics, allow him or her to go and polish it at the technical institutions. If he has no love for mechanics and wants to pursue another course, he can continue with fundraising or appeals. I hate to see talents go waste.
