Kumawood actor Kwadwo Nkansah Lilwin has bemoaned the present hardships in the country. He tells Giovani Caleb on Showbiz360 about his struggles to keep his school running in the current economic situation.
“If it weren’t for God, I would have closed down. For the past two months, I pay more than Ghc6,000 to fill one bus four times a week. It does not last until Friday. It finishes on Thursday. So every week, I buy fuel for almost Ghc20,000.
“Because the cars are ten with three big buses, costing about Ghc3,500 to Ghc4,500 each. But now it’s almost Ghc6,000.”
Kwadwo Nkansah LiWin also shared his motivation for starting a school, Great Minds International School, and why he chose to subsidize his fees so that people facing financial hardship can afford to educate their children. He said his inability to continue his education inspired him to try and help other unfortunate children realize their dreams.
He also advises people to keep humanity alive and sympathize with others in these times.
“If someone tells you they are facing financial troubles, don’t get angry. They are the ones in their situation. If you have one child, your problems are different. Another with four children also has a different set of problems.”
