It was all joy and excitement when the people of Trekume, a community in the Anloga District of the Volta Region welcomed a groundbreaking ceremony that will see to the renovation of a dilapidated six-unit classroom block with auxiliary facilities and teachers’ bungalow.
This follows a grand partnership between multiple award-winning Reggae/Dancehall Artiste, Mr. Livingstone Etse Satekla popularly known as Stonebwoy, and former Finance Minister, Dr. Kwabena Duffuor to elevate the school.
Stonebwoy’s Livingstone Foundation and Dr. Kwabena Duffuor’s, Duffuor Foundation have pulled resources to renovate the school for the people as part of Dr. Duffuor’s ‘Ghanaian Dream’ agenda.
The project is expected to be completed by June next year.
Speaking on the sidelines of the groundbreaking ceremony, Stonebwoy indicated that his passion to help deprived communities through his foundation has made it necessary for him to embark on such a project.
“I have realized and believe that my dream to help humanity falls in line with that of Dr. Kwabena Duffour’s “Ghanaian Dream” hence the partnership,” the Bhim Nation President stated.
He said he looks forward to seeing this Ghanaian Dream becoming a reality.
Dr. Kwabena Duffuor on his part noted that his “Ghanaian Dream” campaign can only be achieved through quality education.
“I believe that together we can achieve the Ghanaian Dream and it is only when we provide modern educational facilities that we can aid this noble course.”
Speaking on behalf of the Trekume community, the Headmaster of Trekume M.A Basic School, Mr. Isaac Boni also expressed his utmost gratitude to Stonebwoy and Duffuor Foundations for the kind gesture.
“We believe strongly that the project will go a long way to improve our academic output since the renovation will bring a major relief to students and teachers,” the Headmaster emphasised.
