Accra, Oct. 29, GNA - Two old students groups of Nifa Senior High (NISEC) over the weekend donated some furniture and books worth over GHC 11,000 to enhance activities in the school’s dining hall and library.
The 1986 group donated books on Physics, Chemistry, Literature and Geography among others to enrich the school’s library and to enhance student performance.
Mr Solomon Mensah, the President of the NISEC 1990, said the group decided to make the donation to supplement the available furniture in the dining hall which has led to students attending dining activities in batches.
He said: “We came around earlier and realise that many of them do not even have tables to sit on but there were benches.
He said the group decided to focus on the short term needs of the school and strategise effectively to attain the long term needs.
Mr Mensah said the donations made by the members of the group led to the acquisition of the 40 benches and 20 tables.
He said the group would not relent in supporting the school and would continue to mobilise the members to do more for their alma-mater.
Mr Mensah said the group was now looking at how to help other members of the group to stabilise their sources of income in order to make future easier for all.
He said the group is collaborating with the Nifa Old Students Association (NOSA) and other stakeholders to ensure that stated objectives are met.
Dr Joan Boampong, the President of the 1986 Year Group, said the group donated the books to help in improve the academic activities of the students and help upgrade the school’s library.
She said NOSA has the school at heart and would continue to undertake a number of projects to aid in the development of the school.
She said the alumni body would not relent in their efforts to make the school a better place for all students.
Ms Patience Naki Mensah, the Assistant Headmistress, Academics of NISEC, commended the two groups for the gesture saying the donation was timely as it would help to reduce prevailing dining challenges.
She said the school with a current student population of more than 2,500 has been eating in batches and this is having an adverse impact on academic work.
Ms Naki Mensah urged the old students to also consider helping the school get an assembly hall which would be separate from the dining hall to reduce the rate at which dining tables were carried out of the dining hall for social gathering activities
