The District Chief Executive (DCE) for Akrofuom, Maurice Jonas Woode, has presented 16 computers to the Akrofuom Senior High Technical School (ASHTEC).
The gesture was to enhance the teaching and learning of ICT at the school.
The DCE acting through one Miss Ernestina Mensah, who is a member of the Ghana Union of Düsseldorf, petitioned German-based Labdoo, to come to the aid of the school, in a bid to enhance the teaching of ICT.
Labdoo is a global collaborative social network of grassroots volunteers using CO2-neutral means to provide schools in need with unused computers loaded with powerful educational software.
Even though the computers were free, the packaging, storage and cost of freight which amounted to €540, which was supposed to be borne by the beneficiary school was paid by Mr. Woode.
During the presentation, the DCE lauded Labdoo for donating 28,044 computers to 2,424 schools in 146 countries including Ghana.
The donation to ASHTEC included 11 desktops and 5 laptops with standard specifications.
The DCE said the computers had come at a time where knowledge in ICT has become important.
Mr. Woode was optimistic that the computers presented to the school will further enhance the teaching and learning of ICT in the school.
The District Director of Education, George Sarfo Kantanka expressed his profound gratitude to the DCE for his tireless efforts to resolve the countless challenges of the ASHTEC.
Mr. Kantanka thanked the DCE for reviving the ICT Lab which was lacking computers, and thus, advised the school to keep the computers in good shape to continuously serve its intended purpose.
He further pleaded with the DCE to assist the school with air conditioners at the ICT lab and a television set for the students.
