\ndonation formed part of its objectives to help the country build its human
\ncapital in the area of education.<\/p>\n
The General-Secretary of AFA, Kofi Atakora Amaniampong, who made
\nthe presentation on behalf of the association, said members were touched by the
\nplight of the students and, therefore, decided to help furnish the classrooms
\nin support of academic work.<\/p>\n
For him, educational development is a shared responsibility and
\nrequires support from all citizens irrespective of where one domiciles.<\/p>\n
He called other groups and associations to emulate the gesture of
\nAFA since education is the best legacy to give to the younger generation.<\/p>\n
The association also donated 100 pieces of exercise books to the
\nAsem Boys Junior High School in Kumasi and presented a cheque of GH\u023c57,200 to the family of a triplet whose mother passed on during
\ndelivery.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Head Teacher of Asem Mixed
\nExperimental M\/A School, Philip Marshal, expressed gratitude to the donors for
\ntheir kind gesture and called for their continuous support.<\/p>\n
According to him, the school lacks computer laboratory, library
\nand potable water. He, therefore, appealed to the association and other bodies
\nto aid the school.<\/p>\n
He said the provision of the new furniture would go a long way to
\nimprove academic work and the performance of the school. <\/p>\n
