The Member of Parliament for Anyaa Sowutuom, Dr. Dickson Adomako Kissi, has commissioned and handed over a 6-unit classroom block with a 10-seater toilet facility to the Odorgonno Senior High School. This was in response to a request by the school for solutions to some of its problems.

Odorgonno Senior High School is the only public SHS in the Anyaa Sowutuom enclave. It has been a beacon of hope, especially for young men and women who reside in the area. Despite its stellar academic performance, the school faces numerous challenges.

One of these was the lack of adequate classrooms to facilitate effective academic work. To address this, Dr. Dickson Adomako Kissi sought help from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to construct a new building to augment the existing ones.

The result is a fully furnished 6-unit classroom block with a 10-seater toilet facility.

Speaking at the event to commission and hand over the facility to Odorgonno SHS, Deputy Education Minister Rev. John Ntim Fordjour thanked the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for their gesture and called for more collaborations to support the government's efforts.

"There's no way we can tell the narrative of Ghana’s educational sector without faith-based organizations having a line or two in it. This comes to augment the existing investments the government has made in the education system. There's a need for a more strengthened partnership between the government and faith-based organizations. We want to see more of this," he said.

An ecstatic Dr. Dickson Adomako Kissi explained why he decided to help. "This is evidence that the government is making inroads in the educational sector. I'm thankful to President Akufo-Addo and Dr. Bawumia for showing us the way. I'm grateful for the support of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the parents, and everyone who made this a reality. The major beneficiaries are the students, and I'm happy to be a conduit for such a project."

For the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, this is a way to give back to society in its quest to make it better. Elder Nielsen, Africa West Area President of the church, said, "This is so our young people can gain an education to help them improve themselves and build their future. We believe the education they'll receive in this building will help their families and communities. Anytime we get the chance to be involved in such projects, we will."

The headteacher of Odorgonno Senior High School, Patrick Mensah, said this facility will make academic work more effective. "We are grateful for the project that's come to us through the Member of Parliament, Dr. Dickson Adomako Kissi, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Last year, our science passes were very good. This will improve academic work, and we'll make very good use of it."

Stakeholders believe this new facility will be well maintained to educate generations yet to come.
