Amanuah Adventist Preparatory School Inaugurated
Mr. Kwame Fosu Banfo (SIKKENS),a Ghanaian business man and his family have celebrated the 20th anniversary of the demise of their beloved mother, Madam Alice Abena Amanuah, with the inauguration of a two unit classroom block with an office, kitchen, toilet and bath facility for the Nkawkaw SDA church in the Eastern Region.
Speaking to journalists at the inaugural ceremony, Mr. George Deborah, who spoke on behalf of the family indicated that the gesture isn’t the first from their family because their mother, the late madam Alice Abena Amanuah who fellowshipped with the Nkawkaw SDA church for over five decades admonished them to help the church anytime they are blessed and because of that the family made significant contributions to the construction of the main church as well as other relevant gestures such as procurement of potable chairs for the church.
Mr. George Deborah again mentioned that their beloved late mother who herself worked assiduously to educate them told them to pay attention to the education of children and therefore it was a joy to the family when the SDA church proposed that they help them with such a facility in the occasion of their late mother’s 20th anniversary celebration.
Mr. Deborah also told newsmen that the family again raised an amount of 22,000 cedis fund to help buy musical instruments for the church. He on behalf of the family pledged to further collaborate with the church to enhance human lives but was quick to plead with the church and school administration to focus on proper maintenance of the facility and promised to buy a school bus for the school next year.
Pastor Collins Kyei Konadu, the district Pastor of the Nkawkaw SDA church told journalists that the late madam Alice Abena Amanuah was someone who loved children and always sought their welfare and therefore the newly constructed facility will be used exactly to suit the vision of their beloved late mother to raise boys and girls to build Ghana’s future.
On his part, Nana Yaw Boadi, the administrator of the school also promised to take good care of the facility for as long as God permits. He also pledged to guide teachers and children in the decent SDA tuition standards to make the gesture relevant.
The inaugural ceremony was however followed by a visit to the grave of the late madam Alice Abena Amanuah at the Kwahu Obomeng cemetery where the family laid wreaths to the dead.
