Rotarians Raise $257,000 For Lashibi School

A scene from the Rotarians walk

THE ROTARY Club of Accra, Spintex Branch, with the Rotaract Club of the Regional Maritime University and friends on Saturday embarked on a special walk in aid of old Lashibi TMA Basic School.

The 8.5-kilometre walk sponsored by Decathalon started from the Junction Mall at Nungua at 6am through the Spintex road and back to the starting point.

The objective of this health walk was to raise funds for the construction of a $257,000 kindergarten block for the Old Lashibi TMA Basic School.

The block which is expected to be a state-of-the-art building will consist of four classrooms, 14 toilets, ICT centre, library, health centre and three offices.

Rotary Club of Accra Spintex is a member of Rotary International which is a service organisation whose purpose is to bring together business and professional leaders in order to provide humanitarian services, encourage ethical standards in all vocations and help build goodwill and peace in the world.

The club has therefore appealed to all and sundry to donate to enable it realize its dream for the school.
