GETFUND PRESENTS BUS TO KUMASI ANGLICAN SCHOOL (PAGE 11)

THE Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) has donated a 58-seater Tata Star bus to the Kumasi Anglican Senior High School (Super KASS) to solve its transport problems.
The donation followed an appeal made by Rev. Canon Brobe- Mensah, the headmaster of the school for a means of transport during the school’s last speech and prize-giving day.
The perennial problems of students and teaching staff of the school making requests to neighbouring second cycle institutions and benevolent organisations for means of transport for their academic and social tours is expected to end with the donation of the bus.
Rev. Brobe-Mensah received the bus on behalf of the school.
He noted that the school always found it difficult to convey students to tourist's sites across the country for them to have the practical experience of what was taught in the classroom.
He said in terms of sporting activities outside the Kumasi metropolis and its environs, the school had to fall on sister schools and benevolent organisations for a bus, a situation which affected the morale of the school teams participating in such programmes.
The school had to plead with the Kumasi Technical Institute when it had to go on a trip to the Kakum Park in the Central Region a few months ago, while its sports programmes sometimes suffered because it had no means of transport.
He gave the assurance that the bus would be properly maintained to enable the present and future students, as well as the staff, to benefit from it, and thanked the GetFund, especially Mrs Leticia Osafo Addo, for her personal intervention which made the donation possible.
