A COMMUNITY-BASED youth organisation in Tamale, Tiyumba Youth Association, has donated a quantity of school uniforms to pupils of the Al-Islahiya English and Arabic Primary School located behind the old Tamale Sports Stadium at the Kaladan Barracks.
The Chairman of the association, Mohammed Yussif Afa Doo, who made the presentation, said members of the association were touched when they learnt that majority of pupils in the school did not wear the prescribed uniform.
He pledged the association’s commitment to assist the school to expand its infrastructure by putting up additional classrooms to enable the school authorities to admit more pupils.
Mr Afa Doo described the prevailing structures in the school as most unfortunate, and expressed the association’s readiness to partner with other stakeholders to develop the school into a centre of excellence.
The chairman stated that similar assistance would be extended to other deprived schools in the metropolis.
Afa Doo appealed to capable people of northern extraction to contribute their quota towards getting northern Ghana out of its current under-developed by assisting deprived communities in the areas of education, health and agriculture.
The Proprietor of the school, Sheikh Ahmed Muktar Mohammed, commended the association for the gesture and appealed to other philanthropists, the government and non-governmental organisations to also come to the aid of the institution.
