The beneficiary schools are Ampabame No 2 D/A JHS A and B, and Darko M/A JHS.
Presenting the items, Ohemaa Kwartemaa, shared her inspiring journey as an entrepreneur, philanthropist, and professional. Born in a humble village, she emphasized the importance of education in her success story, which has led her to work in the USA. She encouraged female students to prioritize their studies and stay focused on their goals.
She advised them to abstain from early relationships, avoid bad friends that will lead them to immorality.
The Girls’ Prefect for Ampabame No 2 D/A JHS, Miss Akua Agyeiwaa Adubofour, on behalf of all the students, thanked the Ohemaa Kwartemaa Foundation for the support and requested computer assistance to help them learn computing.
