Mr Bernard Ahiafor, Member of Parliament for Akatsi South and Hope For Ghana, a US-based Non Governmental Organisation, have commissioned an eight-unit classroom block with ancillary facilities for Sesime MA Primary school within the Akatsi South Municipality.
The school, named ‘Lawrence School of Hope’ was dedicated to the late Lawrence Owoputi, who was a pastor, philanthropist, educator, and community leader, who loved life and sought possibilities and opportunities for others.
During a grand commissioning at Sesime on Saturday, Mr Ahiafor, who is also the Country Director for the Organisation, commended Dr Steve Greene, President and Founder of Hope For Ghana and his partners for their benevolence over the years.
“It is my joy that we are commissioning this school facility today to enhance quality education in my beloved constituency. I have been working with Dr Steve Greene and his team for years and his love for my constituency is never-ending.”
Mr Ahiafor also revealed that the facility, which was fully funded by the Organisation was the third project in the constituency after commissioning similar ones at Kpevenu and Live-Gakope, all within Akatsi South.
“Hope For Ghana also provided potable drinking water to some communities in my area as well as the provision of educational materials such as books and computers. Let me announce today that myself and the team will soon cut the sod for another school block project ready to commence at Klokpe.”
Dr Greene, during the event, thanked Mr Ahiafor and the community, as well as members from the Avenor Traditional Council for their support during the period.
“I’ve been in Ghana for 37 years and 12 years of existence as an organisation. Our hope and focus were to help humanity, bringing hope and opportunity to Ghanaian children in rural villages who are starving to learn, and provide access to clean water to villages in dire need of potable water.”
Mr Karim Ayaana Umar, the Akatsi South Municipal Director of Education, who received the keys on behalf of the school, assured the donors of ensuring proper maintenance of the facilities.
He promised to transfer additional teachers to the school for effective teaching and learning. Read More…
