A kind man saw the children trekking back to Cameroon and interrogated them on their condition.

According to the children, there's no open school in Cameroon due to the crisis going on over there.
However, due to their zeal and passion for education, they decided to trek to Nigeria to continue their education.
The kind man called two bike men and paid N20k to transport the children to the border and from there, they would trek down to their village since no other means of transportation can get there.

Students who trek to school get new bicycles
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a Bangladeshi photographer, GMB Akash, has shown that the real essence of life is all about helping those who are in great need. The photographer who was born in 1977 has been of great help to those who have been marginalised for many years.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday, March 16, the man said that his life dream is to empower underprivileged female students with bicycles. Akash revealed that so far, he has given 30 of those out to people he has known for some time. A mother of one of the beneficiaries spoke about how the bicycle changed the life of her daughter. She disclosed that before then, her child was always trekking long distances to and fro school every day.
The woman prayed for the philanthropist. The photojournalist said he has tried to ensure that students do not get exhausted on the way to their places of learning, revealing he had gifted one girl from every 3 families a bicycle each. Many Facebook users praised his noble heart, asking God to reward him for his selfless act.
