THE Eastern Regional Minister, Mr Kwadwo Affram Asiedu, has presented school items worth GH¢200 to Master Emmanuel Djoka, a Class One pupil of the Anoff Primary School in the Akuapem North District.
The items included two sets of uniforms, a pair of sandals, a school bag and stationery.
The regional minister came in contact with the boy who was not properly dressed when he visited schools during the first day of the basic schools academic year, popularly known as “My First Day in School”.
Mr Affram Asiedu, who said he was touched by the plight of the pupil, decided to assist him, since he had the potential for climbing the academic ladder.
Messrs Daniel Owiafe, the Headmaster of the school, and Manu Baffour, a member of the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA), expressed their appreciation to the regional minister for the gesture, and appealed for logistical support for the school to enhance teaching and learning.
In another development, Mr Affram Asiedu with the support of the Eastern Regional Co-ordinating Council, has donated cash of GH¢750 and stationery to 15 brilliant financially constrained students in two schools in the Kwahu South District.
Each of the students from the Kwahu Ridge and Mpraeso Senior High schools received GH¢50, a school uniform, a pair of sandals, a school bag and other stationery items.
Early on, the Royal Netherlands Embassy in Ghana had through the World Health Organisation presented similar items to 300 needy students and pupils in the region.
