THE Avernopeme Youth Association (AYA) in Accra has raised funds to embark on a number of projects in some schools in the Avernopeme District in the Volta Region.
The project which is expected to commence in November is estimated at the cost of GH¢20,000.
A wall will be constructed around the Local Authority Junior High School (JHS) and electricity will be provided for both the Roman Catholic and Zion Basic Schools in the area.
Speaking at a fundraising ceremony in Accra, the Chairman of the Association, Mr Thomas Attigah, in a speech read on his behalf by the Secretary of AYA, Mr Dadason Samlafo, said the wall was intended to prevent stray animals from destroying the landscape of the school as well as provide a serene atmosphere for teaching and learning.
The fundraising which was on the theme: “Creating a Peaceful Environment for Education: Your role, My role” attracted some personalities, including the Member of Parliament for Avenor-Ave and the first Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Mr Doe Adjaho, who contributed GH¢10,000 for the project.
The chairman used the occasion to appeal to government to expedite the rehabilitation of the Abor-Avernopeme road and other development projects in the district.
