Sylvester's father bravely shoulders the responsibility of being a single parent to his four children. This devoted father is determined to provide a better future for his family, but the challenges he faces are significant. With a son in Secondary school, two more in primary school, and the youngest attending nursery school, their father's role as a primary school teacher becomes a constant struggle to meet the family's basic needs.

Although he works hard, the father's income is modest, and it falls short of covering the essential expenses of the family. The tuition fees for his son in Secondary school pose a considerable hurdle, and acquiring the necessary school supplies for the two boys in the primary section proves to be an ongoing challenge.

Like his brother Peter, Sylvester's attendance at school is greatly impacted by the financial constraints his father faces. The irregularity of his classroom participation is a direct result of his father's inability to provide the required school materials and pay the fees on time. On numerous occasions, Peter and Sylvester are sent home due to outstanding fees balances and unmet classroom requirements.

Despite these obstacles, Sylvester is an exceptional and dedicated student who strives to excel in his studies. His dream of becoming a policeman is a reminder that he wants to help keep his community safe and make something of himself. His passion for doing what's right keeps him motivated to do his best to perform well in school. If supported, his father will have one less thing to stress about, knowing his son has a chance at a bright future.
