Konongo-Odumase Secondary School Old Students gather in Toronto, May, 2012

I would like to let you in on a beautiful thing about Great KOSS. It is actually about, Anuanom, Konongo-Odumase Old Students’ Association (KOSS OSA). The beautiful thing is Anuanom gathering to reminisce the time (I mean the good time) we spent at KOSS and then raise money to keep the beautiful school growing.

This year the gathering is taking place in May in Toronto. Read on!!!

KOSS OSA Reunion and Gift giving campaigns!

Great KOSS will be 60 years in 2013. We want to start early, so we can support our school the way Anuanom know best.

Fund raising campaigns by KOSS OSA chapters, in Ghana, Europe and in Ghana have been the foundation for provision of basic needs of the school. Alumni giving have provided the necessary financial support to the school and have created opportunities for technology in classrooms, instruments in laboratories equipment for athletics and water supply.

In July, 2011 KOSS OSA USA hosted a tasteful event in East Brunswick, New Jersey. It was first of a kind for Anuanom to come together from Ghana, Canada and the USA for a reunion and to support a fundraising campaign to raise money to support a borehole water project for the school. In many ways, the event was a success.

This year, the event takes place in Toronto, the weekend of May 25, 26, and 27, at Best Western Hotel, in Richmond Hill (600 Highway 7).

KOSS OSA Canada reunion and fundraising event, in Toronto, will serve as a kick off to solicit gifts to support the most important priorities of the school including medical supplies, equipment and fixtures for the clinic at the school.

Because of these efforts, Great KOSS is able to continue to strengthen its programs, and to meet the unexpected challenges and opportunities that arise annually.
