On the 15th of February, 2018 at 12:11pm, the legendary Ghanaian ICT teacher, Owura Kwadwo Hottish posted these pictures on Facebook and wrote “Teaching of ICT in Ghana's school is very funny. ICT on the board paa. I love ma students so have to do wat will make them understand Wat am teaching. #committedteacher. #ICTontheboard. #Teacherkwadwo”.

Social media exploded in admiration and wonder at his effort to explain how computers work -without computers. This man’s post was seen as both a bit of ironic fun about life in Africa but also as a source of inspiration particularly for Africans in the tech community like the Cameroonian tech entrepreneur Rebecca Enonchong of AppsTech says QZ.com.

Rebecca reached out to Microsoft on Twitter via this tweet https://twitter.com/africatechie/status/967818279078252546, and today, Microsoft has promised to empower this young man via this tweet https://twitter.com/MicrosoftAfrica/status/968372028003770372 “Supporting teachers to enable digital transformation in education is at the core of what we do. We will equip Owura Kwadwo with a device from one of our partners, and access to our MCE program & free professional development resources on Microsoft Educator community home”.

This Ghanaian public school teacher is today celebrated beyond the borders of his country. That is the reward for going the extra mile in whatever one finds to do!

Do it with passion. You could say I too like good things. Who doesn’t? Congrats Jaree, Owura Kwadwo Hottish! Kudos to Rebecca Enonchong for taking it up! Let life be like this.

This is awesome and encouraging for upcoming good computer teacher
