Sumaya DonationSumaya Elham Hardi is a senior at the Vestal High School in the United States

16-year old, Sumaya Elham Hardi, a senior at Vestal high school in upstate NY, USA on 17th December 2018 donated several items to Tebu M/A Basic School.

The items included school backpacks, sneakers and shoes, clothing, and some school supplies.

Sumaya came to Ghana a few years ago and during her visit, she learnt about some of the schools in the outskirts of the urban areas. She, therefore, thought of helping in her own little way.

To satisfy this desire, Sumaya met with the principal of her school who allowed her to place bins in certain locations in their school, asking for donations of gently used items. She was very amazed by the enthusiasm with which her colleagues donated the items. She expressed gratitude to her tutors, all of those that donated, and her friends that help her organised it.

“School supplies are very essential for kids to succeed in school. These are the tools that we need to get our job done successfully. So it is heartbreaking to know that these things are not accessible to my sisters and brothers,” Sumaya said.
