The boys also heard how Idris and Sulle are unable to go to school and instead find wires they can burn to extract and sell metal from in order to survive.On the back of their visit Harry, Niall, Louis, Zayn and Liam are trying to inspire their fans to raise cash for the campaign, and show their support for those they met in Ghana.
