We come in every year too support them with money so that they will be able to replenish or be a complimentary measure whereby school materials as well as educational support. Those students who need extra classes, stationery, etc, we are able to support them with that,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Dokua_Foundation3.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo for the past four years we\u2019ve been able to support about 24 students throughout that process. So today we wanted to take it up a little notch\u2026.so we came in and also donated GHC5000 to continue with the effort of supporting these students who are brilliant but because of the opportunities they lack, they may not be able to achieve what they want to achieve,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The Executive Director in his speech challenged the students not to see their current state as an excuse to fail in life. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Dokua_Foundation5.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/><\/p>\n<p>He urged them to take their education serious and \u201cnot focus solely on material things which can disappear at any given moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Using himself as an example he said, \u201cI didn\u2019t go to the John Tei\u2019s or Achimotas or whatever. I went to Kibi L.A. That is where I started. Once you know regardless of your background or wherever you went to school or your classmates, if you have that sense of purpose and also have a supportive family you can do anything you want.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Dokua_Foundation6.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Mr Kwaku Boateng said although the Dokua Educational Foundation is a small venture, he looks forward to expanding the project in the next few years with projects including a library and ICT Centre which would be named after his mother.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 26 updated by: 26 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Thursday, 28 December 2017 Source: www.ghanaweb.com 2017-12-28 Kwaku Boateng, Executive Director of Health Care Sunrise Senior Living, USA The Dokua Educational Foundation has awarded a Scholarship fund of GHC5000 to the Presbyterian Primary and Junior High School in Kyebi to support brilliant but needy students in the school.
