Two young Ghanaian sibings in the United Kingdom have bought a pair of slippers for Kwabena Peprah, one of the Accra to London by road travellers.
Kwabena Peprah, a leading member of Wanderlust Ghana, the group which organised the historic road trip, reported during the journey that his rubber slippers, known in local parlance as 'chale wote', had got torn.
The siblings, Korley and Korleki were monitoring the progress of the Wanderlust team in the 16-day journey. They broke their piggy to buy Kwabena pair of slippers to replace the torn 'chale wote' which was also referred to as 'aka me last'.
