MTN SUPPORTS ASAMANKESE-BUNSO METHODIST JHS (PAGE 11)

THE MTN Ghana Foundation in partnership with the Domod Roof Limited has presented 100 pieces of roofing sheets worth GH¢1,375 to the Asamankese-Bunso Methodist Junior High School.
The items were to facilitate the building of a three-unit classroom block to provide a suitable teaching and learning environment for the beneficiaries.
Upon completion, the community-initiated project estimated at about GH¢25,000, will replace the existing dilapidated bamboo structure that is currently providing accommodation for the students.
The initiative, a brainchild of one of the citizens of the area, Dr Bedman Narteh, who is a lecturer at the University of Ghana Business School, is being financed by the Master of Business Administration (MBA) students of the university, while the community is providing labour
Presenting the items, the Technical Marketing Officer of Domod Roof Limited, Mr Frederick Y. Agbale, said the donation, which formed part of the company’s corporate and social responsibilities, was in response to the MTN Ghana Foundation’s commitment to partner with likeminded organisations and individuals to provide the basic necessities of life to deprived communities.
For his part, a Senior Manager of MTN Ghana Foundation, Mr Robert Kuzoe, said he was of the belief that the donation would not only help to improve the academic performance of the students, but would also encourage them to stay in school to develop their potentials.
According to him, the foundation, which was an umbrella organisation of MTN, charged with the responsibility of directing and managing the company’s corporate social responsibility initiatives, was committed to improving the lives of communities within its operational areas.
As part of such commitments, particularly in the areas of education and health, he said the foundation had refurbished the entire second floor of the maternity block of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital and also established MTN learning centres in all the 10 regions of the country.
The Chief of Asamankese-Bunso, Nene Padi Adjabeng II, who received the items on behalf of the school, thanked Domod Roof Limited and MTN Ghana Foundation for their support, which he said would improve the academic performance of the students.
He appealed to other benevolent organisations and individuals, as well as citizens of the area, to come to the aid of the school to ensure the early completion of the school building.
