– –<\/span> The member of parliament for Madina Constituency, Lawyer Xavier Sosu has taken to Facebook to share how he changed the life of a young man.<\/p>\n In a long post he wrote;<\/p>\n Share the Inspiration.<\/p>\n – –<\/span> In 2016, I met Lawrence Selorm Attipoe who was then a 19year old Level 200 student at UPSA. We met at Circuit Court 1, where he had been accused of robbery, indecent assault, and defrauding by false pretenses.<\/p>\n He looked very innocent but so afraid. He had no lawyer and asked me \u201cwhat should I say when I am called?\u201d I answered \u201cNot guilty of course, unless you agree to all the charges leveled against you.\u201d<\/p>\n – –<\/span> His dad, now deceased, asked me out and begged if I could represent his son. I was moved by compassion when he told me all that happened and I agreed to do so \u201cpro bono\u201d.<\/p>\n I introduced myself as a friend of the Court and forcefully argued for his bail but never saw him again since I was not actively engaged as substantive lawyer for him.<\/p>\n Last week, Selorm sent me a mail which read \u201cI am one of the beneficiaries of your pro bono services and want to thank you. I was in Court for about six (6) months and later got acquitted and discharged of all the charges, because they were false.<\/p>\n I endured the humiliation, deferred my course, and later went back to school to graduate with Honors. I did my National Service with GRA and after Service, I am currently with my mother doing food business.\u201d<\/p>\n His story brought tears to my eyes and reinforces the fact that little acts of kindness can change many lives. This is a story that must be shared to encourage every young person that setbacks are natural but temporal: Everyone can rise above his or her challenges to become an achiever.<\/p>\n Today, as a 24year old graduate, Selorm is desirous of changing the narrative of his life and the life of others with his story, a story of which I am pleased to have been a part of.<\/p>\n Selorm\u2019s food business is \u201cGhana 5 Star Food\u201d and you can support him by placing your orders on 020 751 0661 or 055 004 9247 via WhatsApp or Call.<\/p>\n – –<\/span> – – The member of parliament for Madina Constituency, Lawyer Xavier Sosu has taken to Facebook to share how he changed the life of a young man.
