A video of a student’s heartfelt speech at Mim Senior High School has captured the attention of social media users across Ghana. Felicia Sarfo, the school’s Chaplain, spoke on behalf of her peers during a visit from regional officials. While her intentions were clear, it’s the unique way she expressed her gratitude that has sparked a viral conversation.
The occasion was a somber one, as Mim Senior High School had recently suffered a devastating fire outbreak. To provide support, the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) from the Ahafo Region visited the campus to donate essential items. The visit aimed to ease the burden on students and staff following the loss of school property.
During the event, Felicia Sarfo was called upon to deliver a speech thanking the donors for their kindness. She expressed the students’ emotions, stating, “We was very sad” regarding the fire, but added that she is now “very very hilosory happy.” Her use of “brofo funu,” or broken English, became the focal point for netizens who shared the clip widely.
The reaction online has been a mix of amusement and discussion regarding language and expression. Many viewers have pointed out the sincerity in her voice despite the grammatical slips. It highlights how a simple moment of gratitude can quickly turn into a national talking point in the digital age.
Beyond the viral nature of the speech, the event serves as a reminder of the challenges facing schools in the Ahafo Region. The support from NADMO provides a necessary lifeline for the students of Mim Senior High School. As the community recovers from the fire, the focus remains on rebuilding and supporting the youth.
