Six-year-old gets support following The Spectator appeal
The dream of a six year old girl to become a teacher, in future has started as two philanthropists have offered to sponsor her education to any levels considering the poverty level of her parents.
Instead of walking about three kilometres every day of the week to access education like five of her brothers do daily which she cannot Ms Patricia Yaa Asantewaa Mensah has now heaved a sigh of relief following the intervention of the two good-natured persons.
She currently schools at a nearby private school which is located only a few metres from her home, at Mexico in the Kpone Katamanso Municipality in the Greater Accra Region.
Little Asantewaa a Kingdergarten Two pupil in an interview with The Spectator on Monday said she was happy that help had come to her because, “she has small legs which can not walk long distances though she strongly desires to go to school”.
She promised to learn hard so that she could become a teacher to teach more children to become like her in future and asked for God’s blessings on her benefactors.
Her mother, Mrs. Grace Mensah also said getting her only girl child out of her eight children to go to school had always been a headache for her because she believed education was the only way her family and especially her girl-child could come out of poverty.
She said she dreaded allowing her little daughter to walk such a long distance to school.
She said she could not afford paying for transportation for her and so she was happy when The Spectator put some of their challenges across which touched the hearts of people to support them in one way or the other with the most significant being sponsoring Asantewaa’s education.
Mrs. Mensah said her husband who she has all eight children with had travelled for over a year with no news of his return or remitting them thus making life extremely difficult for them.
She was thankful to God, The Spectator and the two philantropists who have decided to remain anonymous for now.
The Spectator published the story about the plight of a family of eight children and a mother who were needy and struggled to feed and walked a long distance to school daily. They, therefore, appealed for help from public spirited persons.

Ghana’s parliament has marked the 2nd edition of May Day 2026 under the theme “ Welcome Home”.
It was special day meant to celebrate the invaluable support of the workforce, recognizing the commitment, resilience, and contributions of workers to institutional growth and national development.
Delivering the message on behalf of the Speaker, the 1st Deputy Speaker, Bernard Ahiafor, described the theme as very apt, appropriate, and timely, noting that Parliament is more than a workplace, it is a shared home.
He emphasized that we cannot speak about work without speaking about people, reminding everyone that the true measure of our work is the well-being of our people.
He urged that our traditional clothing become an integral part of our everyday clothing, and that our local languages must become integral to our daily lives, interwoven into education and practiced at home.
Referencing Standing Order 63, which captures the use of local language as optional in deliberations, he encouraged a renewed commitment to identity, saying it is significant that we “come home” and present who we are so future generations can inherit a story they can fully tell.
The Clerk, Mr. Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror, in his remarks commended officers for their dedication and devotion to duty, calling on them to go the extra mile and leave legacies.
Echoing the reminder that an unexamined life is not worth living, he described the event as an invitation to reconnect with our roots through cultural revival.
The Deputy Clerk, C&FMS, Dr. Gloria Sarku Kumawu, urged all not to forget their roots, the people behind the stories of ministries, industries, and the strides made both in-house and beyond.
What began last year has now become a meaningful tradition, showcasing Ghanaian heritage, fostering unity, and encouraging innovation under the principle of diversity for unity and diversity for progress, she added.
The gathering brought together leadership, public officials, and staff across all levels, along with the media, standing as a unifying platform that honored service, celebrated culture, and reaffirmed a shared commitment to national development.
