I was brought out from a village called DaNyame just about two and half kilometers from Dormaa Ahenkro. We were family of four, two sisters and two brothers of which I am the senior brother. My parents were peasant farmers . two of my family members had formal education up to the teacher training. I could not continue my education after I completed senior high school so entered into apprenticeship where I learnt spraying, specifically and general spraying. My parents faced the financial difficulty caring for the four of us and I thought it wise enough to go into spraying to enable me assist them in catering for my siblings. After I completed learning the job,I took a loan from one of the micro-finances but I faced a lot of problems before paying back because the interest was too high. I managed to build a store at the town magazine, bought the necessary tools and equipment to start with. Dormaa Ahenkro is a municipal for which most of the indigents are mostly poultry farmers. I would want my children to grow in formal education to the highest possible. I enjoy reading story books. I browse a lot on the internet.
Car spraying is what I dreamt doing when I was in school. My school mates would laugh at me anytime I mention this, most of then had big dreams of becoming pilots,Engineers,etc but I decided to learn spraying after school. Now I'm into spraying, I have my own shop and it is the source of living for me and my family at large.
I want to buy new spraying machine at $65, different colours of paints at $45, solitapes at$25 and protective goggles at$12.these items will enhance my work especially this forthcoming Xmas. My customers would want paint their cars and other items in their respective homes in preparation towards the Xmas. I hope to swing an increase in profits of about 95%.
