Kofi Adu Domfeh presented the mobility aid to the child on behalf of Ghanaian journalist Seth Kwame Boateng after the child's educator reached out about the boy's situation.

How it all started

In a Facebook post, Seth Kwame Boateng, an award-winning media personality, recounted how he learnt about the child's heart-wrenching plight.

''Last week, a former classmate, Vero, sent me this message, 'Good morning Seth, I'm Veronica your classmate at KASS and am a teacher at Anyaano M/A Primary B, Moshie Zongo Kumasi.

''There's a boy in my school who is in KG 2 and cannot walk and needs a wheelchair please can you help him for us?'' he recalled.

Boateng recounted that he had one electric wheelchair chair left:

''So I quickly dispatched it to my elder brother a.k.a Chairman, Kofi Adu Domfeh to be sent to this boy. Today he delivered and I am so touched,'' he said.
