OFFINSO UNION IN USA ASSISTS SHS (PAGE 22)

MEMBERS of Washington DC-based Offinso Union have donated four computers and accessories to the Dwamena Akenten Senior High School (SHS) at Offinso to enhance the teaching and learning of Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) programmes.
They also presented quantities of used clothes to the Offinso Children’s Home when some of their executive members visited the inmates.
A member of the union, Mr Kwame Baah, who made the presentation, said the computers would enable the students to be abreast of the changing trends of technology.
He gave the assurance that the union members would continue to mobilise resources to support educational development in the Offinso District.
Mr Baah stated that the members were also planning to establish a community library complex equipped with computers and accessories to encourage the youth in the area to acquire skills on ICT programmes.
He expressed the preparedness of the union in supporting healthcare delivery and improved sanitation in the district to enhance productivity and income generation.
The Headmaster of the school, Mr Kwadwo Oduro Frimpong, who received the items on behalf of the two institutions, commended members of the union for their commitment to educational development in the district.
He said with such support the youth would be adequately motivated to focus on their academic programmes to enable them to develop their potential.
Mr Frimpong called for more of such support from the private sector to facilitate educational development in the area.
