Future Leaders Group assists Aburi Girls

THE Future Leaders Group (FLG) has donated 100 pieces of choir robes and 20 tambourines worth GH¢2,120 to the Aburi Girls Senior High School at Aburi in the Eastern Region.
The Group has also awarded scholarships to five needy students in the school to encourage them to study hard, despite their financial challenges.
The Chief Executive Officer of FLG, Mr Emmanuel Dei Tumi, who made the presentation on behalf of the group, said the group recognised the importance of religious and moral education in schools, hence their resolve to assist the school with the robes and tambourines.
He said education was not only about acquiring theoretical knowledge, but also about the inculcating morality and the fear of God in students, who in recent times, were being lured into cyber fraud and other deviant activities.
Mr Tumi disclosed that FLG had awarded scholarships to over 200 students in the country, from primary to tertiary level, and intended to increase the number to cover other needy, but intelligent children.
“Very soon, we will establish a scholarship scheme to let them know that they are not alone, and to realise that some of us are here to help them,” he stated, and challenged the students to stay committed to God and their books to achieve the best from their studies.
The Headmistress of the School, Mrs Sylvia Asempa, expressed the school’s appreciation for the items and the scholarships, and said she hoped it would go a long way to boost the morale of the girls and contribute to their Christian values.
“We hope the scholarships will contribute significantly in building firmer foundation for the students and the nation as well,” she added.
