Michael Blankson, US-based Ghanaian comedian and entrepreneur, has revealed that the reason his soon-to-be-opened school will be free is to inspire others to do the same for their communities.

Speaking during an exclusive interview on Accra-based GTV's Breakfast Show on Friday, June 24, 2022, monitored by Modernghana News, he noted that such an act will also inspire children who will benefit from this charitable act to also give back to their communities when they make it in the future.

In furtherance, the multiple award-winning comedian emphasized that if every rich person had seen the need to give back to the community, the narrative would have been different by now.

Mr. Blankson is currently building a school facility in his home town, Nsabaa, near Cape Coast in the central region of Ghana that will accommodate students from kindergarten to the junior high school (JHS) level.

Even though the school is private, he claims that no student will have to pay anything because they will be fully funded by his scholarships.

“If you make it in life from this school, I want you to come back here in 30 years to make a difference to your people. It is just an eye-opening for everybody, everybody in the whole world…… if everybody went back to their original places and did something for the kids, we would all make a difference, “ he said.

He is looking for a qualified person to be the principal of the school so that they can hire competent teachers to teach the children because he cares deeply about the students who will be attending the school.

He stated once more that his search has resulted in a large number of applicants, and that he will try to interview them before leaving the country.

“It is very important who the right person is because I want them to be the best and I don’t care, I’m going to find the best person, and I want these kids to be very special kids. The goal is to go further than that.

“I would try to do an interview before I leave. I’m going to do it in the next couple of days, I hire an HR person to find somebody and once I get the headmaster, we would put the whole team together.”

“The response so far has been crazy, and the search has just begun,” he stated.
