His megaphone, for calling people\u2019s attention to his business, was tied to a thin rope and on his chest. His \u2018business bag\u2019 was on his back. A carpenter\u2019s saw was in his left hand, and his walking guide stick (plank) was held with his right hand and the right-hand-side rib as he copied customer\u2019s phone number to send purchased call credit or internet browsing data.<\/p>\n<p>Admiration and astonishment appeared on the faces of some of the people staring at his face or keenly monitoring the movement of his finger on the phone\u2019s keys.<\/p>\n<p>James and his met-by-chance clients were standing adjacent a Law Firm located between McDonald and Warren Streets. \u201cYour credit has been sent. Please check your phone,\u201d he said to one of the young women in the group of five persons watching him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re right, the fifty dollars credit is in my phone,\u201d the customer replied after checking her credit. Two other persons paid for credit of LRD20 to LRD100.<\/p>\n<p>This writer met the visually impaired businessman when he was serving customers, became impressed by his economic wisdom, patronized his business with call credit, introduced himself, and appealed for some of his business time for a short interview. \u201cI want to use your story to motivate your visually impaired colleagues now surviving exclusively on street-begging and to draw humanitarian persons\u2019 attention toward you for support your economic venture,\u201d the freelance journalist said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re welcome with the interview,\u201d the blind young Liberian businessman accepted the request. \u201cMy name is James Timothy. Besides selling phone credit and internet access data, I repair bicycles, I have knowledge of carpentry, and I have knowledge of block-laying. I take my professional tools with me on my phone call credit\/data business tour,\u201d he added in flawless English, and raised his saw and bag to the face of this writer.<\/p>\n<p>James said he lives in Topoe Village, outside the Capital, but comes to Monrovia\u2019s Central Business District everyday because \u201cbusiness is good here than where I live. I come on public transport bus each time,\u201d he said. James\u2019s daily profit is between LRD500 and LRD1,000 on every LRD2,000 minutes credit loaded on his phone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI started this business last year, 2020, after seven years of begging on the street. In 2020, I said to myself, \u2018never go on the street again to beg\u2019,\u201d he said, and added: \u201cBegging robs you of your respect other people have for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The phone call credit\/internet access data business was introduced by the Liberia\u2019s branch of French telecommunication company, Orange, years ago, according to information gathered by this writer over two months before meeting 14-year-old Liberian business lad James Timothy. The concept has been adopted by Orange\u2019s main rival, Lonestar Cell, a Liberian-owned telecommunication business. This job-creation strategy, introduced by a foreign company, has drastically sliced Liberia\u2019s multitude of jobless people\u2014old and young. Some of those involved into the business are single mothers, high school students, and students of higher educational institutions\u2014getting family\u2019s livelihoods money and school fees from profits from the business. In past months, I interviewed many of those involved to produce a feature article in the near future.<\/p>\n<p>James Timothy\u2019s response tone dropped on the journalist\u2019s question about the beginning of his visual impairment. \u201cIt started when I was one year and six months old, or eighteen-month-old,\u201d he replied, and added: \u201cMy father abandoned me when he realized I was blind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He praised his mother for being behind him throughout his sightless period. \u201cFor now, she doesn\u2019t have a regular job, so I share some of the profit of my business with her,\u201d he said. On academic education, James Timothy said he stopped at kindergarten level because no money.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I was a kid, I was enrolled at the kindergarten section of three different schools for blind people\u2014School of the Blind, Christian Association of the Blind, and UBA (United Blind Association). But I didn\u2019t go beyond the kindergarten level, due to financial barriers. The public is made to believe that each of these schools offers free education to blind people. But the people running them are commercial-oriented people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The streets of Liberia\u2019s capital city are swarmed with visually impaired beggars, many of them below age 5. For now, the Government of Liberia doesn\u2019t have a practically functioning welfare program for the country\u2019s disability community, even though the Government has \u201cwelfare department\u201d through the National Commission on Disabilities (NCD) and the Ministry of Gender, Children &amp; Social Protection<\/p>\n<p>14-year-old James Timothy is standing away from the pack of his visual colleagues who are not seeing or finding any survival means besides street-begging.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will be highly grateful if any financially privileged person, who had read your story of me, comes in to help me develop my business,\u201d James said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/liberia\">Liberia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Liberia.
