I realized that we were virtually swinging our hands in synchrony. I laughed out loud as he also laughed changing the position of the silver basin (head pan) and the duster I suspect he uses in carrying the pan.<\/div>\n<div>I asked where he was going and he told me that he was on his way to the police station which was about 500 meters from where we were.  That he was going for sachets of of cold water to go and sell. That he does this kind of job on days he is not at school.<\/div>\n<div>When I asked why he was not in school,  he replied that, their teachers said that are going for their salaries from the government and they had holiday. I do not think the boy whom I got to know was Kwadwo Adu knew what labour unrest was about.<\/div>\n<div>When asked how much he makes from the business, he was on the affirmative that he makes Ghc 2.00 from each 30 sachets of water he sells. For the past two days, he had made an average of Ghc 4.00\/day. What he said that made me happy was the fact that,  he gives all those monies to his mum.<\/div>\n<div>There are lots of lessons to pick from this boy. He does not idle and also works with all the joy as I witnessed. Throughout our chats, you could see he is well mannered.<\/div>\n<div>There are some adults who could take up such jobs but have resorted  to begging for money. I do not wish teachers take their labour aggitations to the extent such as what has made Kwadwo Adu have time for his aside business but under such circumstances,  I see his moves as prudent and worthy of emulation.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>DAG signs<\/div>\n<div>12.12.19<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On my way to the hospital, about 200 meters away, I saw a young boy walking just by my side.
