About Me
I am named Mercy Asantewaa. I come from Winneba in the central region of ghana but stay at Kojo baidu in the central region of Ghana. I had my Basic Education at the winneba Methodist Junior High School and further at the winneba Senior High School.
I persued a Diploma in Education at the Wesley College of Education kumasi . I am currently pursuing a degree in Mathematics Education at the university of education winneba University. I am in a family of Six and the second born of my parents.
I teach at kojo baidu S.D.A Junior High School and own a private school along side. My hobbies are reading novels, studying playing with my students and cooking.
My Business
I started my private school with name “THE MAMA LAWSON EDUCATIONAL COMPLEX” in the year 2011 at my own compound. I started my school upon my posting to the community as a teacher. Koko Baidu is fishing community and education seems to have been given little attention. I started the school with ten students but the number grew to twenty-four at the end of that academic year.
Currently, I have 119students that is from the kg to primary 6. I have been able to employ eight teachers and two non – teaching staff. My school is highly patronized mostly due to my terms of paying of school fees which is by installment. Parents are allowed to pay their wards fees on installment which is spread across each academic term.
Although my school is fast growing there are many challenges which needs to be met. Most of my classrooms are in temporal wooden structures.. I started with two classroom block which is at the roofing level.
I wish to apply to Zidisha and its lenders to come to my aid to help improve the structure and to purchase text books for some needy children.
