feared that if i suddenly appeared at the school, the proprietor would arrest me. I really appreciate the proprietor of Solid Rock Model School, for coming to my rescue and accepting the responsibility oof my children. The truth is, was pushed to the wall. I didn't want my children to be beggars on the street."
