Actor Lilwin begins Ashanti Region tour with 'One Student, One Pen' initiative

Comic Ghanaian actor Kwadwo Nkansah LilWin has officially kicked off his ‘One Student, One Pen’ initiative.

The actor’s efforts seek to provide students in the Ashanti Region with pens which will go a long way to aid in their academic work.

In collaboration with the Ashanti Regional Directorate of the Ghana Education Service and DPS Ball Point Pens, the initiative was launched at the Kumasi Anglican School on Thursday.

Speaking to the Ghana News Agency, LilWin indicated that the initiative is part of his vision to give back to society.

“I love giving back to society, especially in the educational sector. I always want to help these younger ones achieve their dreams of becoming better people in society. A pen is an essential learning material, but it has unfortunately become expensive.

"Some parents are unable to afford them for their wards and this occurs especially in the rural areas. So this project seeks to address this challenge and I hope to make the desired impact,” he said.

He expressed his gratitude to individuals and corporate bodies who have contributed to the course.

The actor added that the initiative will go beyond the Ashanti Region for every student in every part of the country to benefit.
