Angel Ankamah Arhin is a primary six pupil of the University of Cape Coast Basic School. He is 11 Years Old.

A team led by Mr. Kofi Sekyiama Pobee, the coordinator who spearheaded the sponsorship for the boy, presented the award to Central Regional Minister, Justina Marigold Assan.

Mr. Sekyiama Pobee, thanked the Minister for her support and called on the Ghana Education Service to institute a scheme to support pupils who may participate in such international competitions because the honour eventually would go to the country.

He was full of praise for Angel Arhin’s lead coach, Francis Grant Mensah for his resilience which brought the ‘boy this far’ and asked for more of God’s blessings for him.
