Head teacher of Yawmire Municipal Assembly (MA) Primary School, Mr Peter Fosu Gyeabour, has appealed to religious bodies and benevolent organizations to assist the school to promote child education in the area.
He said the school lacked teaching and materials like chalk, registers, text books whilst all its blackboards were partly broken and therefore making writing impossible for the teachers.
Mr. Gyeabour made the appeal when the Pentecost International Worship Centre (PIWC) in Sunyani presented items valued at GHC21, 000 to the school on Thursday at Yawmire in the Sunyani Municipality.
The items included 60 new school uniforms, 50 pairs of shoes, 100 pieces of English Bibles, 150 Dewormer tablets, footballs, skipping ropes, boxes of chalk and packets of confectioneries.
He said the school with a population of 125 pupils and a nursery attached had not been rehabilitated since its construction and the structure had become dilapidated and therefore posed danger to the lives of the pupils.
Mr Gyeabour said the population of pupils started reducing from class four because parents of those drop-outs were unable to provide them with basic learning materials, school uniforms and footwear to sustain their interest in the school.
He appealed to the Sunyani Municipal Assembly (SMA) to provide them with cement and other building materials to rehabilitate the school.
He thanked the church for the donation and love demonstrated to the young ones, saying they had really demonstrated the practicality of Christianity.
Reverend Clement Achim Gyimah, Sunyani Area Youth Pastor of the Church, said they felt the plight of the children when they visited the community on an evangelizing mission and therefore mobilized the resources to assist the children to be in school and promised they would continue assisting the school.
Mr Hayford Kuma, local Assembly Man appealed to the SMA to extend electricity to the area to enable pupils and students to study at nights and the rehabilitation of the road leading to the area for easy transporting of cocoa and other farm produce to market centres.
