I am known as Agyekum John. I was born on 16/07/ 1981. A name which when mentions, every one knows i was name after an elderly chief in our community. A farming community Nobekaw is my place of abode. I was born by peasant farmers. I used to go.to the farm with my parents at all the time. This enabled me to acquire the skills of farming at an early stage of my life. I truncated my education at the basic level due to financil difficulties. I fact, I was eager to learn how to read and write and so I attended a non-formal education. This type of education takes place in the evening and is for those who didn't have the opportunity to go through the formal education. Now, I can read and write. I don't want my children to go through such difficulties so it has been my conviction to school my children to higher level for them to become teachers and doctors in the future.
At my community, having respect for the elderly is our unique identity . I love reading and listening to music when i am free.
Dear lenders, in my community, it was a common pratice to see a young man or woman entering into the occupation of his her parents. Mine situation, was of no exception. Because both parents were peasant farmers, I also became a farmer. As the saying goes, like the father, like the son. I started this business after my parents had bought me some farm tools and some planting materials. I plant different kinds of crops. At the end of the season, I make about 500 dollars as my returns. I will pay back my loan from the sales of my farm produce.
I need money to renovate the classroom of my orphanage school. Our deskses are not in good shape likewise that of our roofing also leaks
