Build better future for your children

 
 

Mr Felix Ibrahim, the Northern Regional Director of Information Services Department, has called on parents in the region to build a better future for their children by sending them to school.

He said this was the only way the high illiteracy rate in the Region could be reduced.

Mr Ibrahim said this when he launched a one week regional public education campaign on government policies and programmes and on the need for unity, peace and national cohesion.

He said the Metropolitan, Municipal and districts to be covered include, Tamala Metropolitan, Yendi Municipal, Central Gonja and Bunkpurugu/Yunyoo districts.

Mr Ibrahim appealed to the people in the region to sustain the peace they are enjoying for government to implement its development agenda for the Region.

Alhaji Shamrock Abdulai Mahama, Assistant Director of Ghana Education Service said the Yendi Municipality has 96 kindergarten, 160 primary schools and 30 junior high schools which makes it possible for every child to have the opportunity of attending school.

Apowa children Report

What Happened?
On Thursday 2nd July 2009 Jomelos made a visit to Apowa Methodist School. There the staff met with all the children that Jomelos is currently supporting. Approximately 11 out of the 19 children were re – registered and files have now been created for each of them, complete with photographs.

Clothes were also given to the children; these were donated by a church in Belgium through Our Bishop Dennis Tanner, who is now in the Church of Scotland. The children ranged from the ages of seven to 16 and were all pleased with what they had received.
