Somewhere in the Western Region of Ghana? These kids
still beat all odds to go to school whether rain or shine. My fear is,
what if they are harmed by animals like snakes or even fall sick? Or even get drowned whiles crossing to the other side?How
comfortable will they even be when they finally get to school drenched
like that? This is our beloved Ghana and some children are made to go through so much danger before going to school. This has to be repeated on their way back from school. Looking at the picture, these children seem to be oblivious of the dangers associated with their wading through the water before getting to school. The question i will ask is, what have these children done to deserve this? Can't the authorities do something to help the children cross the river safely to school.? It will shock you to know that the politicians will go to such areas when its getting to the general elections just to make sweet promises to the people in these communities. And you will also be surprised that most of the mineral resources and timber can be found in the Western Region of Ghana.
Have our leaders failed the young and upcoming generations? What does the future hold for these young ones who have been made to go through such dangers before accessing education? They are going through all these through no fault of theirs. Yet at the end of the day, these children and their counterparts in the urban areas will be writing the same exams without considering the inconveniences they went through in the rural areas before accessing education. It seems Ghana stopped working a long time ago. If Ghana is to work again, these children braving the odds to access education in some of the rural areas. This is just somewhere in the Western Region of Ghana. What about the rural areas in the other regions? I just admire the tenacity and determination of these kids to go to school no matter the dangers associated with it. God save Ghana, our leaders should wake up from their slumber and give the children a bright future. Don't forget to pray for the safety of all children in Ghana as they brave the odds to access education.
