Free2Learn supports Vittin Ansuariya Islamic J.H.S with exercise learning materials

Free2Learn Project, a charitable group based in Accra, on Thursday 20th October donated some exercise books and other learning materials to the pupils of Vitting Ansuariya Islamic J.H.S at Tamale in the Northern region.

The group gave 420 exercise books, 300 pens and 300 pencils with support from its volunteers and partners. The group embarked on several fundraising on the streets of Accra to enable them raise money to purchase the items for the school. Donating the items to the school, the Head and Founder of the Free2Learn Project, Miss Ernestina Dika said the items seeks to help the school in effective teaching and learning.

“During my National service with the school last year, I realized the pupils do not have enough exercise books which forces them to use one exercise book for two or more subjects. So returning to Accra, I came up with this project with the help of my team to enable us provide some of these items for the pupils. This, we believe will go a long way to ensure effective teaching and learning in the school” Miss Dika stated.

Present at the short donation ceremony were the Assemblyman for the Vitting area, Hon. Yakubu Tutsi and the PTA board chairman of the school, Mr. Iddrisu Mahama. The Assemblyman expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the group.

“I am grateful to Madam Tina and her team for their kind gesture towards the school. I’ve known Madam Tina who came to do her service at the school for a year to be hardworking. The parents are not able to provide enough learning materials for their children. We therefore thank you for identifying this problem and finding ways to solve it. I also want to appeal to you for more support” Hon. Tutsi noted.

Mr. Ibrahim Dason, the Headmaster of the school also expressed his appreciation to the group and asked for more of such donations to help improve upon quality teaching and learning in the school.

The group also established the Free2Learn Excellence Award in the school. This award seeks to help brilliant students by paying their examination fees and also providing them with school items.
