Pupils
of Hiawoanwu are utterly delighted following Tigo Ghana’s “Shelter 4
Education” project which gave the community a well-furnished 6-unit
classroom block.
Prior to this, pupils of the Hiawoanwu African
Faith Basic School studied under an ill constructed wooden structure
with little overhead shelter from rain. The school was also in dire need
of tables and chairs as many students were forced to sit on the bare
floor in the open.
As part of their Shelter 4 Education
initiative, the management team of Tigo organized a way to respond to
the school’s needs. The community has not only received a brand new
school block, but a headmaster’s office, staff common room, public place
of convenience, free school uniforms, exercise books and other learning
materials.
At the handing over ceremony, the Kontihene of Ejura,
Nana Odiasempa Antwi the II, commended the effort of the company for
not only bringing to light the plight of the school, but coming to its
aid in such a profound way. He tasked management of the school to
carefully maintain the project for future generations.
The
Director of Corporate Communications and CSR for Tigo, Mrs. Gifty
Bingley, said the project forms part of their focus on education for
2015.
“We believe that the future belongs to children and
education holds the key to success for every nation. That is why we are
creating a conducive learning environment for them now in order to make a
positive difference in their future”, she added.
Mrs. Bingley
stressed that the Shelter 4 Education project initiative in deprived
communities is Tigo’s way of enhancing the quality of teaching and
learning across the length and breadth of the country. |
