A Swedru Senior High student, Jeffrey Ebo Arhin who returned a missing wallet containing money to school authorities after finding it on the school compound, has been rewarded for his action.
He has received a cash donation of GHS1,000 for his loyalty and honesty in returning the purse with all its contents.
Headmistress of Swedru SHS, Golda Esi Andam, who gladly broke the news about the gifts, said the young man has gotten various opportunities after the gesture emerged on social media.
Madam Andam mentioned that Jeffrey has gotten an internship at a credit union, although he is yet to complete Senior High School.
She noted that the donations would be presented to him at the school’s assembly grounds in the presence of the student body to motivate the other students.
Netizens who saw the post about the young man receiving gifts after the display of integrity were impressed. Many commended him in the comments section.
Others also encouraged more students to emulate Jeffrey and return missing items to school authorities instead of keeping them.
