THE National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) has presented 23 packets of roofing sheets to some residents and two basic schools at Akwadum in the New Juaben Municipality in the Eastern Region.
The donation of the materials were meant for the rehabilitation of some buildings in the area that were damaged as a result of a heavy downpour that ripped off their roofs.
The buildings included the Akwadum Municipal Assembly primary school and kindergarten and the Akwadum Islamic kindergarten.
The rainstorm also destroyed a portion of the classroom blocks of the two schools, compelling the teachers of the affected schools to temporarily organise classes under trees.
Presenting the items, Mr Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, the Eastern Regional Minister, expressed sympathy for the beneficiaries and hoped that the items would help mitigate their suffering.
He also directed the New Juaben Municipal Assembly to collaborate with the schools' management on how best to renovate the structures that were destroyed to provide conducive learning environment for the children.
The minister also promised the people some seedlings from the Forestry Commission to be planted in the area to serve as windbreaks to prevent recurrence of the disaster in the future.
Receiving the items, the Akwadumhene, Nana Osei Owusu, thanked NADMO for their timely support.
