Gyebiri builds day care centre

Gyebiri (B/A), Sep. 17, GNA - Residents of Gyebiri near Krobo in Techiman municipality are spending 14 million cedis (GHC1, 400) towards the construction of a community day care centre. The two-classroom block, an office and a store would be completed by January next year.

Nana Ameyaw Keseben II, chief of the town who was speaking at a durbar to mark the Fofie Yam festival, said 2.4 million cedis (GHC240) had so far been spent on the project. He said the project was being financed through voluntary contributions of 30,000 cedis per male and 25,000 cedis per female and a fund-raising harvest.

Nana Ameyaw said the Member of Parliament for Techiman North, Mr. Alex Kyeremeh, had provided two bundles of roofing sheets and 15 bags of cement.

He said the school would save the 40 children from commuting daily to Krobo to attend classes.

Nana Ameyaw appealed to the municipal assembly, NGOs and philanthropists to support them in the development of the area. Nana Kyeremaa Siassa II, Gyebirihemaa, called on parents to educate their girls dress decently and avoid dresses that could attract men to defile them.
