Bono Region: Abesim Queen Mother supports six basic schools with teaching materials

The Queen Mother of Abesim, Nana Konama Biyaa, has donated teaching and learning materials to six basic schools in Abesim in the Sunyani East Municipal of the Bono Region.

The items included branded exercise books, erasers, pencils, sharpeners, and soft drinks to 181 Primary 1 pupils.

The beneficial schools are Abesim SDA, Presby "A" and "B", Abesim Methodist, Abesim R/C "A" and " B" basics.

The donation ceremony was attended by some sub-Queen Mothers from the traditional council and the Adontinhene of Abesim, Nana Kyei Nketiah, to accompany the Abesim Queen Mother.

According to Nana Konama Biyaa, the donation aimed to support Primary 1 pupils who had recently graduated from KG2 and contribute to the Abesim Education Fund, which assists brilliant but, needy students.

She told Kaakyire Kwasi Afari of Sunyani-based Ark fm that she was enthused by the pupils’ determination for education following their graduation to primary 1 in furthering their education.

Nana Konama Biyaa expressed her excitement about the teachers' commitment and professionalism in nurturing the pupils in both academic principles and God's fear.

She encouraged them to maintain their dedication, reminding them that their efforts would be rewarded.

As the Abesim Queen, she highlighted her joint commitment with the Abesim Chief to achieving quality education for all school-going children in their traditional area.

The Queen Mother urged parents to invest in their children's education, emphasizing that they are the future of Abesim and Ghana.

Susan Yaa Boafo, Headmistress of Abesim R/C "A" Basic School, thanked the Queen Mother for the donation, noting that it would greatly benefit the pupils.

The Headmistress commended Nana Konama Abiyaa for her consistent support for education, highlighting her donations of teaching and learning materials, as well as her motivational words and regular visits to monitor the school's educational progress in Abesim.

The Headmistress highlighted the school's challenges, including an incomplete wall that allows intruders to use the sanitary facilities and inadequate furniture, forcing pupils to share mono desks.

She told Kaakyire Kwasi Afari that, despite these challenges, the donation is expected to make a significant impact on the pupils' learning experience.
