Before then my parents that that is my father was an exporter of goods and my mother too was also owning a shop that father raise it for her. My father went for a loan in the Commercial bank of Ghana in Tamale to put in his export business and all the he exported sunk and we have to rely on my mother for food because my father went for a loan, he has to sell the shop to settle the bank. That time was unbearable for me, so I have to come to kumasi for street hawking so I can meet my daily meal and send some to my parent.
I start hawking yogurt on the street like two to three years with enough savings and I met a friend who was hawking second hand clothing and I told I want to do his work too and he told me if only I can.
