About Me
MY NAME IS ELVIS GYAMFI FROM SUNYANI BUT STAYS AT DROBO. I STARTED SCHOOL AT SUNYANI. MY FATHER RETIRED FROM TEACHING WHEN I WAS TEN YEARS OLD. I AM THE ELDEST OF MY PARENTS AND WE ARE SEVEN IN NUMBER AS A FAMILY. LIFE WAS NOT EASY AT ALL FOR ME AS A BASIC SCHOOL KID. WITH THE HELP OF MY DAD SAVINGS AND HELP FROM EXTERNAL FAMILY RELATIVES AM NOW A DIPLOMA HOLDER WITH A WIFE AND A BABY GIRL. TOGETHER WITH MY WIFE WE HAVE STARTED STATIONERY BUSINESS. IT IS OUR DREAM TO HAVE THE BEST OF QUALITY EDUCATION FOR OUR CHILDREN TILL THEY ARE GAINFULLY EMPLOYED. I LOVE READING BOOKS AND WATCHING MOVIES ON MY LEISURE TIME.
My Business

I SELL ITEMS LIKE EXERCISE BOOKS, TEXT BOOKS, PAMPHLETS, ATLAS, CHALK, FOAM MAKER, PENS AND PENCILS, DRAWING BOARD, MATHEMATICAL SETS, CALCULATORS AND OTHER TEACHING AND LEARNING MATERIALS. MY RETURNS ACCRUE TO ABOUT 200 GHANA CEDIS IN EVERY WEEK. I USE PART OF THE PROFIT SAVED ON THE PAYMENT OF MY CHILDREN FEES AND RE-INVEST THE REMAINING IN THE BUSINESS.
