"Sitting there makes him feel like he's the one controlling the bike. Now everyone in my school and my class knows him." How? "Because I go with him to all my lectures and group studies.

We travel 23 miles by public bus and sometimes tricycle to this small village to buy Soya Beans back to our town for re-sale. Now we are done with the transaction with the farmers and we are waiting for the bus to pick us up. How does your daughter take such long journeys on this rough road? Well she is used to it and she is much stronger than i am, i mean she was not born back in the day while i traveled all over to far and rough journeys. So she was born with a strong heart and she keeps me company. ( Saboba district, Eastern corridor, Northern Ghana.)
