South Korean based Ghanaian Television Personality, Sam Okyere as part of his giving back to society has helped build a school in his motherland, Ghana. 

The 25 year old who relocated to South Korea after receiving a scholarship by the South Korean Government to study Computer Engineering became an instant hit on South Korean screens and has won many hearts.

He attended the opening ceremony at the Bosuso Elementary School in the Eastern Region after a successful crowdfunding allowed its establishment.

572 School was built with funds collected through a crowdfunding called, 'Orange Act' that Sam Okyere hosted. A total of 5,203 individuals donated $60,000 to the fund.

The highly rated TV personality and actor in a speech at the opening ceremony stated that, it was his way of giving back to something he received years back.

"I had the privilege of receiving an education because of a sponsor who supported me. However, education should be a right, not a privilege," and talked about how all children have a right to receive an education.

He continued, "Education is an essential element for human growth and an opportunity to achieve one's dream...I am happy that 1,000 children will enjoy the right to receive an education and to dream at 572 School." 

Sam Okyere also thanked the sponsors who donated to the school project, saying, "I sincerely thank the 5,203 sponsors who gave."
