I am Asare godfred a Ghanaian citizen living in a small village called namasua in the berekum Municipality in the brong ahafo region. I was born in the western region and started my education in the same region. At 15 years of age, I came to stay with my uncle who treated me so badly. He was not given me money for school so I have to wash people's car before could get some money to overcome this challenge. I wasn't able to complete the secondary school so I started managing the cocoa farm which my father left for us. The people of namasua are very religious and hardworking. They are mostly farmers. I enjoy watching football at leisure.

I am a cocoa farmer. I produce cocoa beans which are used for the production of milo, chocolate and other things. Cocoa is of a higher demand by more countries due to its importance. I went into the cocoa farming since it highly profitable. The profit is used to support the family.

I will buy a spraying machine which cost about $250. This machine will help me to spray my cocoa to protect it from inserts. My profit will about 80% since all my cocoa can mature without rotting.
