Ghanaian actor Samuel Yaw Dabo has warmed hearts online after visiting Suzzy Pinamang, an embattled Form 2 student at Adventist Senior High School who suffered an injury to her eyes while in school.
A video sighted by nsemwokrom on the YouTube page of +Plus1 TV showed the moment the actor looking visibly sad seated next to the 16-year-old.
He opened up about how pained he was to see the current condition of the girl, coupled with the challenges she was going through at the moment.
The diminutive actor expressed astonishment at the lack of concern exhibited by the Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, and the Ghana Education Service regarding Suzzy’s situation.
“We will first thank God that she is alive, but after seeing the girl, I am so sad. When I came here, she told me she was a big fan, but today that I came to visit her, she is unable to see me. In all of this, are we sitting unconcerned while she wastes away? If not for affluent people like Despite and Ibrahim Mahama, we often don’t help those in need. If the family had money, they should have sued the school.
“In countries abroad, in situations like this, the government often intervenes. I am surprised that the Ministry of Education and the Ghana Education Service have not made frantic efforts to ensure the girl is flown abroad for surgery. The longer it takes for her to receive treatment, the lower her chances of regaining her sight become. We are pleading with Ghanaian leaders not to let this happen.”
He concluded by presenting an undisclosed amount of money to Suzzy and encouraged her not to be discouraged or downhearted because of her current predicament.
He assured Suzzy that he would continue to advocate for her so she could receive the necessary treatment she deserves.
“We will move from one radio station to another if that is what it will take for you to get the necessary support.”
At the time of writing this report, the video had racked up over 10,000 views and 100 comments.
