Although she failed to mention the town where she was posted for her national service, the cocoa trees beside the classroom made it obvious that she was doing her national service in a farming community.

Samasparks indicated:

“Congrats. Back in the day, we had to water our classroom every morning and afternoon. Fast forward a bit, and I ended up studying Economics and Geography for my undergrad, then did a two-year Master’s in Geography and Rural Development. I even landed a full scholarship for a PhD at one of Canada’s top universities… imagine if no teacher had committed to teaching in the village!! As long as there is a community with a school, definitely there must be teachers to teach such children."

MTN stated:

“You are very lucky. I left home at 5:00 AM yesterday all the way from Begoro through Nkawkaw to Mmradan in Kwahu Afram Plains South and I’m still at Ekye waiting for the ferry to cross back to Nkawkaw.”

5:30 pm reacted:

“I did mine at a village like this with no network. I was the only one who went because all my colleagues went for reposting. Typical of Western Region. The headmaster couldn't even spell crocodile.”
