Man Gift Scholarship To 10-Yr-Old Girl After Watching Her Hawk Banana With Her Mum

A man on Facebook named Victor Firdance has shared how he was moved to gift scholarship to a young girl who was helping her mum to hawk banana
Sharing on Facebook, he wrote:

“I saw a mother and a child hawking Banana in the rain one certain time.

I was on my way to deliver a pack of VianceTea to a client when I found the mother running into a shade together with a young girl of about 10 years old.

I pulled over immediately by the roadside and they felt I wanted to buy banana. The young woman left the shade and ran up to the car in the rain. She asked her daughter to wait behind. I signaled at them to hold because I was coming over to meet them, but the woman didn’t hear me.

It was when she got to the car, that I stepped down and followed her to the shade where she and her daughter were trying to hide from the rain.

“Oga you for stay for your car. I will bring your banana to you.”

“No. I didn’t plan to buy banana. I felt pity for the both of you, especially as I saw this little girl hawking Banana as well.”

She smiled.

“How we go do? We have to survive. At least if I sell small, she will also sell small too.”

I asked the little girl if she was in school.

She said yes but was searching for money to enter JSS1.

“We are both hustling for food and her school fees.”

I asked how much the school fees was and she told me the total fee they needed was 22,500 for her to get into school.

“It is a government school, but she still needs to sew her uniform and buy her books and school bag, sandals, and socks.”

I looked at the child and saw her shivering. Goose pimples had covered her skin.

I was touched.

I asked how much the banana they carried cost. They were left with 5k Banana to sell. I bought them and offered to drop them at home so the little girl could rest.

Today that girl is on Scholarship at the Victor Firdance Foundation. Her fees and books are handled by us every term.

We know we can’t solve the whole responsibility, but we can help lighten the burden so you can breathe. It has always been my dream.

One day, we will build schools that will offer free education to the less privileged ones.

So why am I writing, do the little you can out there to put smiles on people’s faces.
