A boy identified as Kelvin Odartey, a graduate of Cosmos International School who took part in the just concluded Basic Education Certificate Examination in Ghana has been presented with the Young Promising Role Model Star award.
The 18-year-old Ghanaian JHS graduate started gaining popularity about a month ago after the video of the Lamborghini-like car he designed and made using scraps (recycled metallic waste) stormed the internet. He had drawn the attention of many when he drove the self-made car to the examination centre to write his final paper.
Attracted and impressed with the creative act of the youngster, the CEO of Kantanka automobiles, Safo Kwadwo Jnr promised to offer Kelvin a scholarship award.
