VODAFONE Ghana last Sunday donated 20 new computers valued at GH¢8,000 and a cheque for GH¢5,500 to the Okuapeman Senior High School as part of its contribution to the school’s library.
The donation, which formed part of the company's corporate social responsibility, was aimed at enhancing teaching and learning to improve the academic performance of the students.
The donation of the items was facilitated by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Foundation for Future Leaders (FFL), Mr Emmanuel Dei-Tumi, who also presented 19 computer tables to the school.
The donation coincided with a motivational seminar organised by the FFL for students, including the visually impaired students of the school.
Vodafone used the occasion to organise a dinner for the visually impaired students.
Presenting the items, the Head of Internal Communications of Vodafone Ghana, Mr Isaac Abraham, said the company was proud to associate itself with the Foundation for Future Leaders’ commitment to making life more meaningful for under-privileged youth.
For his part, Mr Dei-Tumi said one of the major drawbacks to the development of visually-impaired and other handicapped youth in society, was the society’s lack of support for such persons to develop their potential and pursue their future ambitions.
“It is to address these lapses on the part of society that the FFL is organising various motivational seminars to inspire the under-privileged to aim high to achieve their future ambitions in life,”,he stated.
Mr Dei-Tumi appealed to corporate bodies to support the under-privileged in society to make life bearable for them.
He commended Vodafone for its readiness to assist the unfortunate in society.
Receiving the items, the Headmaster of Okuapeman SHS, Mr Felix Essah-Hienno, thanked Vodafone Ghana and the FFL for their support.
He said the gesture would enhance teaching and learning and improve the lives of the visually-impaired in the school.
