ASHANTI FOAM Factory Limited, popularly called Ashfoam Ghana, has supported three institutions as part of efforts to contribute to education in the country.
The gesture is also to help sensitise the youth against social vices that are likely to ruin their future, and intensify the fight against drug abuse and other related crimes.
The beneficiary institutions included Chosen Rehabilitation Centre (CRC); an NGO called Watch Your Tongue (WYT); and the Osu Clottey District Education Language Unit.
The donation to the CRC and WYT included mattresses and pillows while for the quiz competition organisers, dual student desks were presented.
Presenting the items to the beneficiaries, Nana Yaw Ampem-Darko Antwi, Marketing and Communications Manager, Ashfoam Ghana Limited, stated that his outfit found it necessary to support individuals and institutions who were contributing towards the development of the country.
He stated that the support offered to the Ga quiz organisers will encourage teachers to develop interest in teaching the Ga dialect and other dialects as subjects in the basic schools.
“As a company also operating in the Greater Accra metropolis, which is the hometown of the Gas, we find it very necessary to support all activities that seek to promote the Ga culture and also positively affect children, that is why we are not relenting in our efforts to go all out to encourage these pupils and teachers to make this year’s edition of the quiz a success,” he added.
He advised the youth to desist from abusing drugs and rather engage in activities that would add value to their lives.
Chief of Adabraka, Nii Tetteh Adjabeng II, thanked Ashfoam Ghana Limited, for the gesture and assured that the support given them would be used for the intended purpose.
Founder of WYT, Police Inspector Daniel Ofori Appiah, described the gesture as kind and timely, adding that the mattresses and pillows would be distributed to orphanages and selected Community Health Based Planning Services (CHP) compounds across the country.
