Jomoro MP donates building materials to 6 Schools for renovations

Six primary schools in the Jomoro constituency of the Western region have benefited from a refurbishment project Hon. Dorcas Afo-Toffey undertook over the weekends because she recognizes the value of education in producing the next generation of leaders.

Gyegyekro Basic School, Cocoa Town Basic School, Alenrezule Basic School, Tikobo Number 2 Basic School, Anlomatuope Basic School, Mpaesem Basic School, and Elubo Basic School are the institutions.

The Jomoro MP renovated a four-classroom unit block at Mpaesem Basic School by raising the block, plastering, and roofing the entire school, and adding a donation of Ghc10,000 to help finish the balance of the project.

Hon Dorcas Afo-Toffey was saddened about the situation at Elubo Basic School for overcrowding, where one classroom could house over 100 pupils therefore, to assist the school to decongest the situation, the MP donated sand, roofing sheets and undisclosed amount for the completion of two uncompleted classroom blocks in the area.

In her visit to Tikobo Number 2 Basic School, the building was wretched because the school infrastructure had not been painted for the past 20-years thus, she got both the Primary and Junior High School blocks painted. In addition, metal poles were erected for both the Football pitch and the Volleyball court.

The Alenzule Basic School was another big challenge because the student’s study at the mercy of the weather since the school was part of the schools under trees.

In away to provide proper environment for teaching and learning, the community have decided to put up their own building from primary one to six but due to lack of funds, the project was halted.

To this end, Hon. Dorcas Afo-Toffey extend water supply to the school and gave them money to complete the project since there was no water in the school for the construction.

In New Ankasa M/A Primary School, they had two classrooms for the nursery department and office for teachers but they had not been plastered therefore the MP donated bags of cement, a trio of sand and roofing sheets for the commencement of the project.

Another horrible situation was curbed at Gyegyekrom basic School. The school building was a mud with no plaster, which the residents and the school authorities say “was an eye saw and not conducive for teaching and learning” thus, the MP bought four packets of roofing sheets and 40-bags of cement to complete the project to befit a modern status.

Since the school for a long time lacked access to portable water, Dorcas Afo-Toffey led her to Krono 2 Basic School to stretch water from the town to the school. This would save the students from having to trek several kilometers to get water.

The member of parliament (MP) whose constituency prioritizes education stated she is dedicated to assisting the teaching and learning process in order to make Jomoro the best place to learn.
