The Assembly member of the Adansi Electoral area, Abrefa Busia in Asuom has made a donation of bags of cement and trips of sand to help the authorities of the Asuom Senior High School reconstruct a boys' dormitory of the school that was razed by an inferno.

It would be recalled that fire gutted the boys' dormitory of the school in the Kwaebibirem District of the Eastern Region in the early hours of Sunday 8th October. Three rooms and a cubicle containing the chop boxes of the male students of the school were completely burnt in the fire.

Following the fire, about 60 students were displaced with over 30 students losing all their belongings forcing the school authorities to improvise classrooms as dormitories.

But Abrefa Busia who is also an old student of school has gone to the aid of the school with the hope of helping the school to get the dormitory back in shape in the not too distant future.

The school is yet to receive any support from government after the disaster.

Abrefa Busia after the donation pleaded with the Kwaebibirem District Assembly, the Ghana Education Service, old students, NGOs and other philanthropists to 'come to the aid of the school.'

Receiving the items Elizabeth Ehorke, Assistant Headmistress of the school (Administration) thanked the Assembly Member for the kind gesture saying it would go a long way to help the school.

She also pleaded with other well-meaning Ghanaians who have education at heart to come to the aid of the school.
