A 12-year-old Ghanaian, Hanks Abotsi, and his friend, Kevin Adiase, have applied for a job in Hank's household and plan to contribute the allowance paid to them to a church project.
In a LinkedIn post, Sharon Begah said the boy, her young cousin, and his friend pledged to contribute monthly towards a church project.
The two friends initially asked for financial support from an older relation to give it to the church. However, Sharon said she suggested that they do some chores around the house and get paid so they can give that as their contribution towards the project.

“My 12-year-old cousin applied for a job and got it. My little cousin and his friend Pledged to give a monthly Contribution towards a church project. Initially, they wanted help gathering the money, but I told them they had to work for it to receive the blessings directly. Fast forward, they wrote an application letter to work with me, and guess what... THEY GOT THE JOB!”
Sharon Begah said she did this so the children learn to be responsible before they grow into adulthood. She added that the value of hard work will also shape their future.
