The SANDABBI Foundation Ghana, a local benevolent Organization based in Tamale, has donated thirty chairs and sixteen desktop computers to some basic, first and second cycle schools in Tolon.
The donation was upon a request by a retired educationist and sub-chief of the Tolon Traditional Area, Alhaji Abdulai Tali Worivi-naa, to enhance teaching and learning of Information Communication Technology and also to solve some of the challenges facing the Tolon district.
The items include thirty chairs, fifteen computers and accessories and a printer. The District Chief Executive for Tolon District Honorable Seidu Abukari noted that Tolon as a less endowed district requires effective partnership with civil society groups to develop; he therefore commended the SANDABBI Foundation for the kind gesture, adding that the donation would go a long way to alleviate some of the challenges affecting schools in the district.
Honorable Abukari noted that Government alone cannot fund education and called for Public Private Partnership in education to collaborate effectively to provide quality education in Ghana.
The Tolon DCE called on other benevolent Organisation to emulate the good gesture by the SANDABBI Foundation that he said would go a long way to enable students develop their talents to compete in job market after leaving school.
The District Director of Education, Amoli Abaako who received the items on behalf of the beneficiary schools expressed his gratitude to SANDABBI Foundation for their kind gesture.
Mr. Abaako called on parents and natives of Tolon at home and abroad to support their communities in the area of education in order to produce responsible citizens for the country.
The Director further called on the beneficiary schools in the district to take good care of the items donated to them in order to encourage other philanthropists to come to the aid of the districts.
