"It's our last day for the first term, 2022. I got to school very early to complete my SBA and report cards for my learners before we vacate. The kids are coming in one by one with gifts on my table. I've been busy so whenever they showed up, I say sweet things to them and continue."
But there was one young girl in his class who waited for all her classmates to leave before approaching his desk.

After a while, all of them went out leaving Lydia sitting right behind my table but I guess I didn't notice her. She coyly, after I noticed her, tries to come to my table. At last, she comes up.
According to Francis, Lydia admitted that her mother is poor and she was given just GH₵1 for herself and her twin brothers but she wants to gift him a sachet of water.
"Sir, my mother doesn't have anything but thank you Sir." She said with the meekest of little voice I am yet to hear on earth.
She opens her hand and shows me a Ghc1.00 note saying, "this is for me and my twin brothers (in the nursery) to buy water, Sir, but I will buy water for you"

My dear you can't stop now that generous little princess needs you now more than ever especially emotional help. I just can't imagine what she might be going through now. Please always look out for her sir.
From Catherine Engmann:
Please don’t stop teaching. We need more teachers like you - you are making such a difference in the lives of those around you. I enjoy reading your stories and I have no doubt that these stories, compiled, would make a great book.
