The Danish Children’s Fund, in partnership with the Seventh-Day Adventist School, Hansen Road, has commissioned and handed over a newly constructed dining shed to the Ayalolo Cluster of Schools in the Accra Metropolis.
The facility, designed to support the School Feeding Programme, was formally presented to the Accra Metropolitan Education Directorate at a brief ceremony held on the school premises.
It aims to provide a safe and hygienic space for pupils to have their meals, improving both sanitation and order during dining hours.
Receiving the facility on behalf of the Directorate, the Accra Metropolitan Director of Education, Madam Justine Ivy Apawu, expressed deep appreciation to the sponsors for what she described as a timely and much-needed intervention.
“This structure will significantly enhance the welfare of our pupils. Proper nutrition and a decent place to eat contribute directly to academic performance,” she said.
Madam Apawu was accompanied by the School Improvement Support Officer (SISO) for Ayalolo Circuit 14, Madam FideliaAkuaNyarkoSarfo.
The Headteacher of Akoto Lamptey Basic School, Madam Elizabeth Acheampong, also thanked the donors, noting that the dining shed would greatly strengthen the implementation of the School Feeding Programme and improve the overall learning environment.
Headmaster of the Seventh-Day Adventist School, Mr. Henry Permington Quaye, explained that the facility would not only offer shelter during meals but also promote discipline and better hygiene practices among pupils.
School authorities have pledged to ensure the structure is well maintained to serve current and future learners in the cluster.
