Agona Swedru (C/R), Sept. 27, GNA – Authorities of the Salvation Army School for the Deaf at Agona Swedru have appealed to the Ghana Educational Trust Fund (GETFUND) to expedite action on the classrooms and hostel under construction.

They said the delay in the project which started in 2007 had seriously affected teaching and learning at the school.

Mrs Favour Aflakpiu, Headmistress of the School, made the appeal when the Harmony Youth Club presented assorted stationary and footballs worth GH¢1,500 to the school.

She said the congestion at the existing structures had compelled the authorities of the school to provide temporal wooden structures to be used as kitchen to facilitate cooking for the pupils adding that as the kitchen is close to the classrooms, heat and smoke easily entered the rooms during classes.

Mrs Aflakpiu thanked the Harmony Youth Club for the kind gesture and asked corporate bodies, financial institutions, philanthropists, and others to come to the aid of the school.

Mr Bismark Eyison, President of the club, said the donation formed part of their social responsibilities in the Municipality.

Mr Eyison said the club has also made many donations to the Awutu Bawjiase Country Side Orphanage and the Mother Care Orphanage at Agona Swedru to help in the upkeep of the inmates.

He said the club has earmarked December 2 as a clean up exercise day to help clean the Agona Swedru Municipality.
