Chamber of Mines extends support to Akropong, Mampong Special Schools
Speaking during the presentation, the Director of Analysis, Research, and Finance at the Ghana Chamber of Mines, Christopher Opoku Nyarko, said the organisation was committed to supporting institutions that serve vulnerable groups.
The Ghana Chamber of Mines has extended its support to two special schools in the Eastern Region of Ghana - the Akropong School for the Blind and the Demonstration School for the Deaf at Mampong. The mining organization donated 61 bags of 25kg rice to the institutions as part of its corporate social investment programme. The Akropong School for the Blind received 31 bags of rice, while the Mampong school received 30 bags.
Speaking during the donation, the Chamber's Director of Analysis, Research, and Finance, Christopher Opoku Nyarko, expressed the organization's commitment to supporting vulnerable institutions. He assured the schools that their partnership would continue and that the Chamber would make further visits and provide additional support. Nyarko also encouraged the students to focus on their education and develop into responsible members of society.
The gesture is a follow-up to previous assistance provided by the Chamber to the Akropong School for the Blind, which included funding for painting its facilities. The Headmistress of the school, Veronica Dery, expressed gratitude for the support and hoped the partnership would continue.
The Mampong school, which has a student population of about 530, currently lacks a proper, disability-friendly assembly hall. The donation is expected to help the school provide for its students and address its infrastructure needs.
