About Me
My name is Patrick Essel, a physically challenge person and have completed Swedru School of Business in 2004.
I started my business(Private school) PATRICKS PRINCE OF PEACE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL in 2006 in a rented house . I happen to be the only teacher .when i started , on the first day i didn't get any child but on the second day i had two children. and at the end of the week i was having 10 children. So on that week end i went to house from house looking for children , everyday after school and because of that i employ one woman and by the end of the term i was having hundred (100) student.
The following term we had , one hundred and fifty student registered , making it two hundred and fifty student with four teachers at the end of the second term of the academic year 2006/2007. And from that academic year to 2013 we got five hundred student and one hundred student were not paying because, some of them were orphans , others were single parent problems.
Problems started on 2013 , the landlord said i should move the school from his place and it wasn't easy but i forced to move the school in 2014 and because a lot of parent heard the news, they redrew the children(student) and i was left with only hundred student , that i took them to my new land.
I started it again under tress and one day bees attacked me , teachers and the student. the student were rescued and everybody run away and i was left alone, because of my disability.
The bees beat me some entered my ears , nose and mouth and i fall into coma. i didn't see anything again but according to people , they came around with huge flame of fire to take me to Swedru government hospital. i was hospitalized for two weeks before i was discharged. When i came home we couldn't go to school for another three weeks so the parent redrew their children and i was left with only three student. but i didn't give up and i continue and now i have fifty student but now my major problems are bus to pick the student to school, school building and toilet facility
My Business
Patrick's Prince of Peace International School render services by giving children education. The school cater for children in creach to primary and Junior High School.
The school also helps orphans, single mothers , single father sand widows by giving their children free education and free transportation to school and to return home
The school also reach out to deep villages which has no school there and gather the children there to give them education(to read and write).
The school source of funding is farming and extra tuition, after school hours we render to other children who don't attend Patrick's Prince of Peace International School.
Loan Proposal
I will buy one bag of rice costing GHC 78 to sell to some of the student and will get a profit of GHC 23 and that will help us to reinvest .
