The District Chief Executive for Kintampo South in the Bono East region, Mr. Opoku Nyame, has handed over 249 school furniture to the District Director of Ghana Education.
The presentation was made on behalf of Mr. Alexander Gyan, Member of Parliament for Kintampo South, who through the GETFund donated the said furniture to the directorate.
