MEMBERS of the Accra Ring Road Central Rotary Club have donated assorted educational materials to the Asempaneye Primary School, a farming village in the Akuapem North District in the Eastern Region.
The items comprised 100 school uniforms, exercise books and other stationery, as well as footballs and playing kits.
The educational materials were distributed among 100 schoolchildren in the village, which the members of the club adopted.
Members of the club are also putting up a modern GH¢70,000 school block in order to raise the standard of education in the area.
When completed, the school block would provide a conducive teaching and learning environment for the pupils and the teachers, who are currently accommodated in a dilapidated mud structure, which poses danger to them.
The club has also organised a free medical care for the residents of the area, mostly schoolchildren and women.
The exercise, which was carried out by a 10-man medical team, including five doctors, was used to screen the people of various health problems.
Beneficiaries with minor health problems were provided with free medicine while those with serious ailments were referred to the Eastern Regional Hospital in Koforidua and the Tetteh Quarshie Memorial Hospital at Akuapem-Mampong for treatment.
Briefing the Daily Graphic on the initiative, the Service Project Director of the club, Mr Victor Asante, said the club had decided to support the pupils and other inhabitants of the village as part of its community assistance project aimed at improving their lives.
According to him, through voluntary contributions by members, the club had raised GH¢3,000 which had been spent on the first phase of the school building comprising a library, a staff common room and a playing field.
“We are trying to raise additional funds for the completion of the school project,” Mr Asante said.
