The NGO, led by its Founder and Executive Director, Ms Kenndicta A-ensonga Ajene, presented 35 dual desks to the school, and 50 tote bags designed by Vicky Pinto clothing in Accra and donated to A-ensonga Hearts as its contribution to the NGO’s quest to ensure quality education in deprived areas.
Management of the school, in a citation read by Mr Thomas Azure Alukuke, Head teacher, at a ceremony to hand over the furniture, extended appreciation to the NGO for its ‘Benevolent donation of 35 dual desks to our school’.
‘This generous act reflects not only a commitment to educational advancement, but also a shared vision of fostering a conducive learning environment for our students. The impact of such a thoughtful gesture extends far beyond the physical realm of the desks themselves,’ the Managemen
