Assin Dompim (C/R), June 06, GNA- The Assin Dompim Youth Association (ADYA) has presented stationery worth GH¢20,000.00 to two public schools as part of efforts to improve education in the Assin Fosu Municipality.

The beneficiary schools, Faith Academy and Methodist Basic Schools were given items including pens, pencils, erasers, textbooks and mathematical sets.

The others are projectors and a fridge.

Mr Cosmos Kojo Danso, the convener of ADYA, said the donation was their contribution to support and promote learning among children in the Area.

He urged parents to be responsible and prioritise the education of their children since that was the only key to a successful and sustainable future.

According to the convener, the best legacies parents could leave behind for their children was education saying, ”it is the only thing that cannot be taken away”.

He said, it was fulfilling to give back to society to ameliorate the plight of the vulnerable and the underprivileged.

Mr Danso charged the pupils to commit themselves to pursue their education and avoid vices that may jeopardise their future.

Nana Adwoa Appiafaah III, Queen mother of Assin Dompim admonished the pupils to read their books always and avoid truancy.

She further advised parents to take advantage of the government’s Free SHS policy and send their wards to school   to enable them to acquire knowledge and skills for self and national development.

She commended the Youth Association for their support and appealed to other philanthropists and corporate organizations to also support them. 

The Head teachers and pupils of the beneficiary schools acknowledged the value of the items donated to them and thanked the donors for the gesture.
