Santrofi on National Service
Santrofi on National Service is the story of a young Sixth Form leaver who was posted to the Upper West Region for his National Service. Born and bred in Accra, he had never left the capital, and to be sent 960 kilometers away was a big dilemma for him. His father, who had refused to allow him to take up a career as a professional footballer, asked him to honour the posting as every citizen of the land should. He took it on the chin and went, and was assigned to teach Mathematics and Science at Jawia JSS, a small village some 19 kilometres from Tumu.
Thrust into a completely new world, he accepted the challenge of serving the people not only in the classroom but also with his many other talents. And as he shone in the village, the people loved him and he in turn loved them. And a new life and future undreamed of just opened before him.
