Student of the Bramkrom will be given toothbrush and toothpaste each. Mr. Larbi said the Bramkrom School was established by his late parents with support from their (parents) siblings.

He said the school would be renovated and promised to also finance an ongoing clinic project to provide health care delivery for the community.

The clinic to comprised two consulting rooms, restrooms for patients, dispensary room and an accommodation for the medical officials, is expected to be completed in November.

Mr. Larbi said currently students in the school enjoyed free education to enable parents to send their wards to school and encourage other corporate bodies and government to support financially.

He lauded the effort of Mrs Mavis Frempong, the District Secretary for Abirim North Constituency in the Eastern Region for donating roofing sheet for the school.

Nana Kwabena Chartey, Chief of Bramkrom thanked the Larbi family and the voluntary health officials for the exercise, adding that it would help improve health condition of the people in the community.
