Fellow Love: Each one, teach one

I met this boy while taking a stroll this morning around the Islamic Training Institute playing all by himself close to the Kanda highway(Traffic light). He had no sandals on and his uniform looked so dirty. I initially walked past but my brotherly love(humanity) didn't allow me to go any further so I approached him and asked why he was playing all alone at a dangerous spot like that while class was in session? The little boy told me he was sacked by his class teacher for not paying extra classes money. I told him to take me to his teacher I will pay the money so he sits and learns with his peers. When I asked him how much the 'extra classes' money is, to my utmost surprise, he said Ghc1. I got pissed because there was a similar incident on the news last year where a 6year-old pupil, Peter Mensah in the Ashanti region lost both legs while crossing the streets after he was sacked from class because of Ghc2.20. I marched the boy to go and show me this teacher who sacked him...
