KUMACA alumni in USA builds ultramodern toilet facility for school
Kumasi Academy (KUMACA) Old Students Association of USA has constructed an ultra-modern toilet facility for the school at Asokore Mampong in Kumasi.
Speaking on behalf of the president of the association, Mr. Kwame Boafo, communications director of the association said, the toilet facility was part of the old students’ commitment towards addressing the sanitation problem at the school.
“I am hopeful that this project will go a long way to improve sanitation and add value to your educational lives in this reputable school,” he told the school, adding that, “education is a mutual responsibility and the government alone can’t carry it out, so we’ll do our best to help the school achieve its glories.”
Inset: Students accessing the facility
He said: “We all have a role to play and presenting this project to the school is the right thing to do, so I am urging all the old students in this school to come together to improve the standard of teaching and learning in this school.”
The facility includes 12 toilet cubicles, three wall-mount flush-valve urinals and six hand wash sinks with cabinet.
Mr. Boafo thanked members of the association whose contribution made it possible for the project to be undertaken, particularly Dr. Kwame Bawuah Edusei, an old student and former Ghana’s ambassador to the USA “who was our highest contributor”, calling on members to contribute more towards other projects that were yet to be executed.
The headmaster, Mr. Samuel Gato commended the association for the kind gesture and promised to take good care of the project.
“We are pleading with the government to assist the school with furniture although we have written to the Free SHS Secretariat and the Ghana Education Service, they are yet to come to the rescue of the school.
“Our internal roads are really in a bad state and we are, again, calling on the government to fix our roads for us,” he added.
