The Eastern Regional Minister Rita Adjei Awatey, alongside personnel from the Ministry of Defence, have visited the Asuokaw River to assess the danger pupils are exposed to when crossing to school.
In a heroic gesture, one pupil carried one of his younger colleagues across the treacherous Asuokaw river to ensure they both made it safely home after school.
The inspiring act of courage and selflessness has gone viral, attracting attention from government to build a bridge on the river.
The viral video of the pupils on the broken tree which served as a bridge caught the attention of President John Mahama who tweeted about providing solutions.
