Victor Owusu Foundation Donates Computers and Exam Writing Materials to Ampunyasi D/A JHS
In a continuing effort to support education and empower local communities, the Victor Owusu Foundation made a significant donation to Ampunyasi D/A Junior High School (JHS) in the Akrofuom District of the Ashanti Region, Ghana. The donation, which took place during the school’s Open Day Ceremony, included computers and examination writing materials. This gesture underscores the Foundation’s commitment to promoting quality education for all, particularly in underserved communities.
Empowering Students Through Technology and Educational Resources
The donation comprised state-of-the-art computers aimed at improving digital literacy among the students. With the world increasingly leaning towards technology, this contribution is expected to give students at Ampunyasi D/A JHS a competitive edge. Many rural schools in Ghana face challenges in accessing modern educational tools, particularly in the areas of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), which is essential for academic and professional development in today’s digital age.
In addition to the computers, the Victor Owusu Foundation also provided examination writing materials to aid the students in their upcoming exams. These materials will not only ease the burden on parents but also ensure that students have the necessary tools to perform their best during exams.
Commitment to Educational Growth
During the presentation, a representative of the Victor Owusu Foundation reiterated the organization’s dedication to supporting educational growth in Ghana, especially in rural areas. He highlighted the importance of equipping students with both digital and academic tools to prepare them for future challenges.
“We believe that every child deserves access to quality education and the resources necessary to succeed, regardless of their location or background,” he said. “This donation is part of our broader mission to bridge the education gap and provide opportunities for students to thrive in this fast-evolving world.”
Gratitude from the School Community
The headteacher of Ampunyasi D/A JHS, on behalf of the staff and students, expressed profound gratitude to the Victor Owusu Foundation for their generous support. He noted that the donation of computers would significantly enhance the school’s ICT program, a crucial part of the curriculum, while the examination materials would help relieve some of the financial pressures faced by students and their families.
“This donation is timely and will go a long way in helping our students become more confident in their studies and exams,” the headteacher stated.
Looking Ahead
The Open Day Ceremony was a well-attended event, bringing together students, parents, teachers, and members of the community. The Victor Owusu Foundation’s donation serves as a stepping stone for further collaborations aimed at improving education in the Akrofuom District and beyond.
As part of its ongoing efforts, the Foundation remains committed to investing in education and ensuring that students in rural areas receive the same opportunities and resources as those in urban centers. With initiatives like these, the Victor Owusu Foundation continues to make a tangible difference in the lives of Ghanaian students, helping to create a brighter future for all.
