Constromart, a multidisciplinary engineering firm, donated several assorted products ranging from sports items, teaching and learning materials, and sanitary pads, among others, to Agormanya R/C JHS in the Lower Manya Krobo Municipality on Friday, September 1, 2023.
Also, the group came with Prof. Elsie Effah Kaufman of the University of Ghana, Legon, who has been a seasoned quizmaster of the National Maths and Science Quiz Competition, to share words of motivation and encouragement with the people.
Prof. Elsie Effah Kaufman challenged the young students of today to take their studies seriously and become part of the problem-solvers of tomorrow.
She used her personal life story to motivate the long learners, telling them that with hard work and determination, no matter where they find themselves today, they can achieve greatness because a lot of people have made it to the top from rural communities with fewer privileges than where they find themselves today.
Mr. Samuel Kwesi Tettey, on behalf of the staff and management of Agormanya R/C School, expressed their heartfelt appreciation to Constromart and Prof. Elsie Effah Kaufman for this kind gesture and human-centred gesture expressed to the school in his municipality, as he used the opportunity to appeal to Constromart and Prof. Elsie Effah Kaufman to partner with the Municipal Education Directorate to solve some of the problems facing education in the municipality.
The headteacher of Agormanya R/C JHS, Dedoo Desmond Yao, also assured the donors that the items donated to them would be put to good use to benefit the learners.
He further appealed to Prof. Elsie Effah Kaufman after a tour with her to the school’s science laboratory to use her influence in the country to attract support to transform the under-resourced science laboratory of the school into a modern lab fit for study purposes that can serve other schools in the Lower Manya Krobo Municipality.
