Mensah is seen hugging, dancing, handshaking, waving, fist and leg bumping with his pupils before entering his class for lessons.

Mensah, who started teaching at the Mankessim M/A "A" School in 2016, told Briefly News that ''teaching is my passion''.

''I have a passion for teaching even though I'm not a professional teacher. When my contract came to an end, the teachers in the school had a meeting with me and declared that they want me to stay and they will give me a token every month.''

The video captured one morning shows the children in great excitement when their turn comes up to greet him.

''I play with them during break time [I] posted a video with my kids playing ''ampe'' during the break time,'' he added.

Early in September, Fredrick Mensah provided six of his pupils with free school uniforms on behalf of a donor.

In a Facebook post, he disclosed that a Good Samaritan named Tenisha Rosand reached out to him after posting about his love for his work as a teacher.

Teacher sews free uniforms for needy pupils

Briefly News previously reported that Janet Asibi, also known as The Sewing Teacher and Ama Val, is a national service person who was posted to the Nsoatre SDA primary school situated at Bono Region.

Information available to Briefly News indicates that when she arrived at the school, Janet realised some of the pupils attended school with either worn out uniforms or no uniforms at all. She, therefore, decided to be of help by getting a sewing machine that she had learned to use, to sew uniforms for the pupils at absolutely no cost.

"This disheartening development of seeing these young ones whom we refer to as future leaders walk to school in torn clothes compelled me to put my skills in sewing to use," she said.
