Volta Beads members painting the Tsiame Basic School<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Tsiame E.P
\nBasic School in the Keta Municipality of the Volta Region, has been given a
\nfacelift by Volta Beads, a group of young female volunteers in the
\nregion.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The volunteers who
\nare members and sympathizers of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) took
\ntime off their busy schedule and through voluntary contributions and
\nfundraising painted the six-unit primary and three-unit Junior High School
\nblocks.<\/p>\n

The headmaster of
\nthe School, Emmanuel Nyavi who was elated thanked Volta Beads for making the
\nschool beautiful, as it had not seen such facelift since 1923, when it was
\nestablished.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He said the act of
\nthe ladies who themselves partook in the painting was very inspiring,
\nespecially for young women in the area who had little aspirations due to the
\npoor living conditions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Be that as it may,
\nhe thanked the government for the School Feeding Programme which had kept a lot
\nmore pupils in school than before and reduced teenage pregnancy. Currently the
\nschool has 314 pupils with 156 being females.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The leader of
\nVolta Beads, Amanda Adorme (an entrepreneur) said the initiative at Tsiame
\nwhich was the paternal hometown of Alexander Afenyo Markin, an MP in Central
\nRegion, will be replicated in other villages and towns that need such
\nassistance, especially areas that have low female attendance to school, because
\nquality education is a responsibility for all and not just the government.<\/p>\n

She announced that
\nthe group would soon be rolling out a skills training programme to empower
\nwomen in the region so that those who do not make it to school could have
\nanother chance at having a good life.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Volta Regional
\nOrganizer of the NPP, Emmanuel Korsi Bodja described the initiative of the
\nVolta Beads as a novelty, particularly when they are a regional based group.
\nAccording to him, the group\u2019s gesture exemplifies what politics is all about;
\nwhich is to bring development to the people; something which is dear to the NPP
\ngovernment and party.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He also endorsed
\nthe group\u2019s decision to adopt the school and further reroof the school and
\nsaid, Ghana Beyond Aid started with initiatives like these. Not when we wait
\nfor foreigners to come do the little we can do for ourselves.<\/p>\n

The NPP Regional
\nChairman, Makafui Woanyah and the Keta MCE also lauded the initiative and
\nencouraged others to emulate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
