The old man receiving his gift
Accra-based businessman and auto dealer, Horic Ampofo, has extended a generous act of kindness to an elderly man who had been volunteering as a sweeper along the Ayi Mensah-Peduase stretch.
Mr. Ampofo, who first encountered the elderly citizen earlier this year while commuting along the route, had initially pledged to support him with a monthly allowance of GH¢1,000 in appreciation of his dedication to keeping the area clean.
However, in a recent interaction, the elderly man humbly requested a one-time lump sum to enable him to start a small business and secure a more sustainable livelihood.
Moved by his determination and entrepreneurial spirit, Mr. Ampofo fulfilled the request by donating a lump sum of GH¢15,000. The donation is expected to support the elderly volunteer in setting up his own business and gaining financial independence.
Netizens have applauded Mr Ampofo, for his gesture and have called on others to support such public spirited people who contribute quietly to the well-being of their communities.
