Dear Sir I am very interested in your Freeskool Program but the poverty of some of us Ghanaians prevents us from learning this very important but non-existent Skill and bring it to Ghana.Please help by offering me a scholarship including transport to enable me to attend this course and become Trainer-of-Trainees here in Ghana and if possible the whole of West Africa.This will be a great help not to me alone but to all Ghanaians.You may also send me the addresses of organizations/persons who can help in this regard and thank you in advance.
