In a remarkable act of generosity, renowned contractor Kofi Job and his wife, Dr. Esther Gyebi, presented a generous donation of GH¢20,000 to 16-year-old Maybel Nyarko, a bright but financially challenged Senior High School (SHS) student. The emotional presentation took place on Saturday at OTEC FM, where the couple expressed their support for Maybel’s educational journey.
Maybel, a dedicated Home Economics student, had initially received financial assistance from the couple when she enrolled in SHS. With their help, she was able to purchase items from her school’s prospectus. As a heartfelt thank you, Maybel baked and presented her first practical cake to the couple, an act that deeply moved them.
“It was such a thoughtful gesture from Maybel to bake us her first practical cake,” said Kofi Job. “It’s not every day that we see such gratitude from a young person. We decided to show our appreciation for her kindness with this donation, which we hope will ease her financial worries as she continues her studies.”
Maybel was visibly overwhelmed by the couple’s kindness. Fighting back tears, she expressed her deep gratitude for the timely support. “I am beyond grateful to Mr. Kofi Job and his wife for their incredible kindness,” she said. “This donation has come at a time when I was really struggling to pay my practical fees. Without their help, I honestly don’t know what I would have done.”
Dr. Esther Gyebi emphasized the importance of supporting young minds in the community. “We believe in the power of education and the potential of every student,” she said. “Maybel’s story is a perfect example of how a little kindness can make a big difference in someone’s life. We are committed to helping her throughout her education, ensuring that she can focus on her studies without the burden of financial stress.”
The Kofi Job Foundation, known for its efforts to support underprivileged students, has pledged to continue helping Maybel as she progresses in her education. With this ongoing support, Maybel can focus on her studies and pursue her dreams without worrying about financial obstacles.
Kofi Job and Dr. Esther Gyebi’s generous donation is a testament to their commitment to nurturing young talent and supporting education in their community. Their selfless act will not only have a lasting impact on Maybel but also inspire others to contribute to the advancement of deserving students in need.
