The National Petroleum Authority, NPA, Staff Welfare Association on March 29, 2018, the eve of Good Friday donated food items and a GHc 6,000 cheque to the Akropong School for the Blind at Akropong in the Eastern Region.
The items donated to the Akropong School for the Blind were, bags of rice, boxes of washing powder, liquid detergents, bags of sugar, gallons of cooking oil, cartons of Milk, soaps amongst other.
Speaking to Prime News after the donation, Chairman of the NPA Staff Welfare Association, Joseph Awan said, they have seen the good works being done by the Management of the Akropong School for the Blind include the skills they are imbibing into the life of the physically impaired children in the Ghanaian society and as part of the Authority’s Social Responsibility, they decide to make the this year’s Easter festivity a memorable one for the students and staff of the Akropong School for the Blind.
The Assistant Headmaster of the Akropong School for the Blind, Joseph Atsu Homadzi who received the items on behalf of the School expressed the school’s appreciation for the donation saying the items and money given the Akropong School for the blind will help enhance the life of the students in the school.
The Assistant Headmaster also stated that though the government is supporting the school,he would like other corporate bodies and individuals to also come and support the Akropong School for the Blind because it’s expensive educating the physically impaired students especially with their teaching and learning materials in order for the management to give them better education which will make them responsible for Ghana than for them to go begging on the streets.
