The inspirational Captain of the Black Stars Stephen Tornado Appiah on Tuesday interacted with pupils of his former primary school as part of UNICEF and Confederation of African Football (CAF) campaign on Education For All. At the St. Martins Preparatory and Junior High School at Chorkor, where Appiah had four years of his basic education, the pupils had the opportunity to question him on his achievements while residents thronged to the scene to have a glimpse of the celebrity. Appiah advised the children not to abandon their education, since it was the key to an individual's success, saying the era when people thought that education did not matter much in developing one's career in soccer had past. He said, although his dream to become a footballer began at that school, he did not drop out and was therefore proud to have attained such fame. Appiah attributed his success to dedication, hard work and his readiness to learn and urged the children never to give up in life when they faced any obstacle. He said as a father of three, he loved children and hoped to do more charity work to support children. The Deputy Resident Representative of UNICEF Mrs Liv Elden Dzokoto said UNICEF and CAF were into partnership to raise funds and awareness to support education in the country. She said UNICEF would continue to commit itself to promoting the interests of children and ensure that each child would at least complete basic school. She appealed to the public to support quality education by texting the word “KIDS” to MTN short code 1388 at one Ghana cedis. Source: GNA
