Nana Adusei Atwenewa Ampem I, Tepamanhene, has urged parents to prioritise the education of their wards and take keen interest in their studies to become responsible adults in the future.
According to him, any parents who denied their wards better education risked disappointing their future, and stressed that the only legacy parents could give to their children was to invest in their education.
The Paramount Chief of Tepa was speaking at a fundraising ceremony at Hwibaa in the Ahafo Ano South West Municipality in aid of a kindergarten block for the community.
The theme for the fundraising was: “A sustainable development of My Community: A sole responsibility for all”.
He commended the Akwamuhene and Assembly Member of the community for initiating the project, described as laudable, which, he hoped, would go a long way to serve the community and children unborn.
Nana Atwenewaa Ampem stressed that the government alone could not provide all the facilities, hence, the need for stakeholders in the community to complement efforts of the government towards the promotion of education.
The Tepamanhene donated an amount of GH¢5,000.00 for the commencement of the project.
Professor Peter Twumasi, Director General of the National Sports Authority (NSA), expressed gratitude for the laudable project initiated to improve the standard of education in the community.
According to him, the project would offer a competitive advantage in terms of school infrastructural facilities to the residents, and entreated the community to rally behind the government to make education more accessible.
Professor Twumasi donated an amount of GH¢2,000.00 in support of the project, besides a promise to foot the cost of labour on the project site.
