"Once my motorbike gets a puncture i usually bring it here for repair. Surprisingly today i did not get the usual person who repairs for me. I only got the young boy who told me he will help me repair the motorbike. The boy told me his father had gone to town to buy new spares and he asked him to miss school today to help him at the workshop as he will be away to town", said Dickson.
