Rotary Club donates to Asempaneye

THE Rotary Club of Accra Ring Road Central has donated clothes and 100 combined desks and chairs to the Asempanaye District Assembly Basic School in the Eastern Region.
The club, with support from The Standard Chartered Bank Ghana Limited, was financially supported to manufacture the furniture.
The donation of the items coincided with a medical outreach programme the club and the bank organised for residents of the community.
The President of the club, Mr Jeffery Afful, made the presentation to the school.
He expressed the hope that the support given to the school would improve academic performance of the pupils for them to gain admission to any junior high school of their choice.
The Director, Structured Trade and Finance of Standard Chartered Bank, Mr Victor Yaw Asante, said the bank, during Ghana’s 50th independence anniversary last year, promised to donate 100 chairs each to some selected schools in the country.
He said to fulfil that promise, Asempanaye was so far the 17th school to benefit from that initiative, adding, “By next year, we hope that at least 24 schools might have benefited from the gesture.”
The Chief of the Asempanaye, Nana Ampem Darko, thanked the club and the bank for their efforts to improve quality of education in the village.
Nana Darko recalled that the club had donated books, school bags and other materials when it visited the community last year to immunise them against some common diseases.
