The Akuapem North District Directorate of the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) has donated assorted relief items to the Okuapeman Senior High School.

It is to support victims of a recent fire that gutted the Akuffo House of the School.

The donation, which included 60 pieces of student mattresses, 60 blankets, 60 plastic buckets, 100 drinking cups, 60 pieces of Insecticide Treated Mosquito Nets and 100 pieces of plastic bowls, was in response to an appeal made by the School.

The fire destroyed beds, mattresses, books and personal belongings, including undisclosed sums of monies, belonging to the occupants of the House.

Mr. Charles Doku, the District NADMO Coordinator, who presented the items, advised Management on the formation of Disaster Management Club in the School to sensitise and educate students on possible hazards that could trigger such incidents to prevent future occurrences.

He said electricity was not a playing manual, hence students should desist from being curious doing all sorts of illegal things to it.

He urged the school authorities to step up their monitoring roles.

The Headmaster of the School, Mr. Daniel Afari, thanked the Municipal Assembly and NADMO for the kind gesture, noting that the relief had come at the right time when the affected students needed help badly.

He gave the assurance that the items would be distributed to the victims to enable them to continue with their studies.
