For every success, there is a story to tell. In a rare circumstance this morning, Doscar Group Holdings Chairman, Oscar Yao Doe in a public post, told the story of his early struggle with getting education, having to work his way as a growing kid to pay his tuition.

In the post, KingOscar recalled how things went wrong after his wealthy Great Grandmother (who was taking care of him) suffered blindness. The essence of this narrative, according to the philanthropist/businessman is to inspire the upcoming generation to embrace the spirit of showing kindness to everyone possible.

His early life, the Doscar Group boss says, formed the foundation of his undieng passion for educational development, which had seen him built (free-tuition) schools and sponsored the education of many (to university level and above).

My Message To The Up And Coming Generation!The Reason Why I Support Education Development

Year 1983 in Koforidua, Eastern Region of Ghana, My Late Wealthy Great Grandmother Adjo Asigbe (AWAGA) Got Blind, So My Late Grandmother Victoria Nyemekeh (AWAVI), The One I Named My Nursery School After, Did Her Best By Taking Her to Many Hospitals (Including Herbal Medicine) to Cure Her But To No Avail. So, My Great Grandmother AskedThat She Should Be Taken to Dabala Agboglan, Our Hometown And Her Wish Was Respected. Eventually, She Died Peacefully, in 1988.

During This Challenging Period, I Was Schooling At Koforidua Roman Catholic Boys School. Though in Our Class, I Used Come First In All Our Exams Since Class 3, But I Was Really Struggling to Pay My School Fees And Feeding. So, I Quickly Began to Help My Aunty Yaada (YAAD) With Her Fish Business, So I Can Make Some Money To Pay My School Fees & Feeding.

Sometimes, I Even Carry The Fish on My Head From The Cold Storage After I Close From School (With My School Uniform On)And My School Mates Who See Me Carrying The Fish Carton On My Head Laugh At Me But I Ignored Them.

My Aunty Yaada Really Fell In Love With My Commitment To Help Her Business And She Gave Me Soo Much Love And Protection; Including Making Sure She Fed Me Morning, Afternoon,and Night!

So, When I Got A Breakthrough in Lome, Togo in 1989 To Work During My School Vacation Period With The Wealthy African Horrizon Group (a Group That Buys Gold and Diamond For Export To Europe), I Also Began To Shower My Aunty Yaada With Money. When She Died in Koforidua, I Gave Her A Masterpiece Burial to The Admiration of The People of Koforidua.

So, Because of My Own Story, Because of My Own Struggles To Pay School Fees and Feeding, When I Became a Multi-Millionaire, I Began To Build Schools and Make It Free Tuition; Free Admission, Free Feeding, So That At Least Few People Can Avoid My Own Past Situation!

To My Younger Generation, Don't Wait Till You Get Everything in Life; (Including Political Power and Wealth) Before You Start Doing Good To Other People! Create Good in Your Heart From The Onset, For Your Own Good.
