AirtelTigo Showers Love On Adaklu Salvation Army And Tupaa MA Basic Schools
With laughter and good cheer, pupils
and teachers of Adaklu Abuadi Salvation Army School and Tupaa MA Basic
School in the Volta and Greater Accra regions, celebrated Valentine’s
Day, with telecom company, AirtelTigo.
Staff read to the pupils and donated school supplies, including exercise books, mathematical instruments, school bags, mugs among others to both schools in separate events.
Established in the 1960s, Tupaa MA Basic school was in a state of
disrepair, until the erstwhile Tigo brand built a new six-unit classroom
block with a head teacher’s office and toilet facilities under their
Shelter for Education programme.
Adaklu Abuadi Salvation Army School, was also refurbished by former
Airtel Ghana Limited. They upgraded a three-unit classroom in 2012.
Receiving staff of AirtelTigo, Headmaster of Tupaa MA Basic School,
Father Joseph Opoku Darko, expressed their gratitude to AirtelTigo for
the support over the years. He emphasised enrollment has increased since
the company built the new school for them.
“We used to teach under shed and were exposed to the weather. Since we
got a new school, academic performance has improved in a safe and
conducive environment. We can also have extra classes because we have
electricity connection in the classrooms. Unlike the past, teachers now
accept posting to the school and are happy to stay.”
He continued that: “Parents in the community now confident of the
wellbeing of their children school because they are in a secure place.
The student population has increased from 84 to 164.”
The headmistress of Adaklu Abuadi Salvation Army School, Bright Boateng,
also thanked AirtelTigo for their support, noting that “the items would
improve quality teaching and learning in the community”.
