Man celebrates mum who sold bread to train him in school
Meanwhile, Yen.com.gh previously reported that a grateful son had celebrated his mum who sold bread to send him to school.
The young man's mother reportedly financed his education at the university with money from her business. And he decided to eulogise her on the occasion of his graduation.
With neither silver nor gold, he chose to robe his mother in his graduation gown. The duo then posed with a bowl with loaves of bread.
He wrote:
''The most beautiful picture of the evening. His mother used to sell bread to pay for college education.
''At graduation, he makes his mother raise his toga to show his appreciation.''
