A sod-cutting ceremony has taken place for the construction of a 2-unit KG block for the Obuasi Methodist School in the Obuasi Municipality of Ashanti region.
The GHC1,330,000.00 Project, which is to be completed in five months is being funded by AngloGold Ashanti (AGA) Obuasi Community Trust Fund.
Mr. Arnold Ackon, Acting Programmes Manager of the Trust Fund, said the KG block, which suffered serious damage following a heavy downpour needed to be replaced, hence the intervention of the Trust Fund.
He mentioned that the block would comprise one multi-purpose hall, head teacher’s office, kitchen with storeroom, four washrooms and a mechanised borehole.
The Obuasi West MCE, Faustilove Appiah Kannin noted that a huge burden had been taken off the shoulders of the Assembly with the construction of the KG Block and expressed her appreciation to the Trust Fund.
The Headmistress of the Obuasi Methodist Primary and Corner Memorial KG, Theresa Boadi, said the poor state of the block, which is over 50 years old had affected enrolment in the school as most parents refuse to send their wards there and thanked the Trust Fund for the gesture.
