If you don’t weep for the 16-year-old boy after watching this video, you are not human because the story of this young man is worrying, and he needs help to let his dreams come through.
Gideon Boateng is a sixteen-year-old boy who lives on the street of Accra and does clean the screens of cars to make a living. He speaks fluent English and from the way he talks, one can feel a lot of brilliance in his utterance. Sadly, his mother passed on some years back, and his dad traveled to Liberia in 2010 and has not been heard from again, while his only sister who managed to bring him to Accra is now a prostitute. They both survive on their own.
Gideon’s dream is to become a medical doctor, but you and I will agree that this dream will die a natural death if he remains on the street. All he needs is someone to help him go back to school.
Prayerful Gideon in the video revealed that he prays every day for God’s providence as a street boy.
If you don’t weep for the 16-year-old boy after watching this video, you are not human enough because even the little he earns is sometimes collected by the big guys on the street. He spends his night on the street at the Marina Mall.
He said, he will be happy to get help and that whoever comes to his aid, should help him go back to school. He is looking forward to his helper taking him to school so that his dream of becoming a Medical doctor can be realized.
A pastor according to him, promised to help him go to school, but he has lost contact with him while another person prophesied to him on the street that ” he is a great man, so why was he on the street?.
This life is indeed not balanced. This young man deserves love, help, and care. Ghanaians and government need to help this young guy and get him and his sister off the street. We have a brilliant would-be medical doctor wasting his life and dreams on the street.

Psalm 121 SPEAKS to US all as this boy looks for a helper…
- Psalm 121 A song of ascents.
- 1 I lift up my eyes to the hills– where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
- 3 He will not let your foot slip– he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
- 5 The LORD watches over you– the LORD is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
- 7 The LORD will keep you from all harm– he will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
