Not everyone has the privilege or luxury of completing their education after leaving secondary school. This happens because some of these people do not have money to sponsor themselves.
Such was the case of this Kenyan young man, Samuel Ameleto, who decided to apply his Senior High School (SHS) education into his everyday lifestyle. The 22-year-old man loves arts and draws people for a living.
Ameleto is a past student of St. Andrews SHS, a private second-cycle at Assin-Foso in the Assin North Municipality of the Central Region in Kenya.
