A senior high school female student perhaps experienced the greatest moment of her life when she had the rare opportunity to shake hands with President John Mahama.
The student, wearing a light blue shirt over a blue-black skirt, could not control her emotions after the handshake, during a time when the president was exchanging pleasantries with many students who had gathered at the launch of the Free Sanitary Pads Programme for girls in school.
A video shared on social media shows the student excitedly showing her hand to a man who appears to be a teacher, while jumping with excitement.
She then shouts, "I am not cleaning my hand!" The government has officially launched the Free Sanitary Pads Initiative, a program designed to distribute sanitary pads to schoolgirls throughout the country, with the aim of supporting their health and education.
