One Philantropist, One child, One Cedi

It is high time we take the endeavor of becoming philanthropist in our society. If we continue to promise ourselves " if I grow old and, I will become a philanthropist' then it will be too late. who is a philanthropist at all?

According to the Oxford Dictionary, a Philanthropist is 'a rich person who helps the poor and those in need especially by giving out money' now, come to think of it, in Ghana we are all managing, but we can do much better for our children in our various communities. It is time we start going to schools and donate school items to the school children in our communities.

Since we can't trust some Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) anymore, we can do personal donations to schools out there. You can put smile on a child's face by giving him or her 1 pencil.

There are many Ghanaians home and abroad living comfortably, but their village schools are nothing to right home about. How do you feel coming to your hometown with your friend or a visitor and he saw school children siting on the under trees learning while you change your cars like the way you change your clothes?

We can't wait to became Bil gates before we become philanthropists. The government can not do all for us. Let us start doing something to schools in the community that we come from.

If it is one Ghana cedis a month, it can buy one note3 exercise book for a child or a slippers for him or to her to wear before going to school. Ghana can never change unless our educational system improved.

When you gather one cedi a month it become, 12 Ghana cedis a year, it can change the life of a child. Market women, teachers, seamstresses, bankers, lawyers, accountants, nurses, doctors, journalists, cleaners, vendors, all services personnel's form of form working can be a philanthropist and save one child's future.

If we take the initiative today, Ghana's literacy percentage will change in the next few years. Some children are on the street because their parents can't pay BECE registration fees worth 10 Ghana cedis, where are we going to ?

The children needs everybody's help, we have 1001 dresses, shoes but still buying more, while a child in our villages is in the house because of school uniform. 1 Ghana cedis can save 1 child's future.

If you can't save a penny you can't save a pound. If you can't give one Ghana cedis out, you can't give ten Ghana cedis when you start earning 1000 Ghana cedis a month.

Everything can start with humble beginnings then you develop, one major ritual for you to become rich is giving out to the poor and needy children, and those people are just behind your house.

One Ghana cedis a year can save a child's future, am urging all Ghanaians both home and abroad to take just one community-base school in their neighbourhood and think about it!
