Dr. Maxwell Boakye
Council of State Member for the Western Region and CEO of Win Energy, Dr. Maxwell Boakye, has sponsored students from various basic and secondary schools across the Western Region on a two-day educational eco-tourism excursion to Safari Valley Resort and Eco-Tourism Park in Adukrom, the Eastern Region.
The initiative formed part of his commitment to youth development and environmental education, providing students with practical exposure to biodiversity conservation, agro-tourism, and sustainable tourism through guided nature walks, bird watching, wildlife encounters, zip-lining, and visits to the resort’s organic farms and conservation projects.
Speaking on the initiative, Maxwell Boakye said the sponsorship was intended to deepen environmental awareness among the youth and inspire them to become responsible stewards of Ghana’s natural heritage.
Students described the excursion as educational and inspiring, while teachers commended the initiative for complementing classroom learning and promoting leadership, teamwork, and environmental responsibility.
Management of Safari Valley Resort also welcomed the initiative and reaffirmed its commitment to advancing sustainable tourism and environmental education through strategic partnerships.
The excursion reflects Dr. Boakye’s continued investment in youth empowerment, education, and environmental sustainability across the Western Region.
He has also extended support to vulnerable residents with two separate donations in health care and disaster relief.
Dr. Boakye donated GH¢100,000 to fund critical heart surgery for one-and-a-half-year-old Jayla Queen Fynn at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.
The gesture, described by family members as life-saving, is expected to cover the cost of the procedure and related treatment for the toddler.
Mr. Boakye also donated relief items to flood victims in Samreboi, the Western Region. The floods destroyed homes, disrupted businesses, and displaced several families.
The donation, delivered by a team on his behalf, included, student mattresses, boxes of mackerel, cartons of cooking oil, boxes of food, packs of sachet water, mosquito nets and bags of rice among others.
This, he said, forms part of his commitment as a Council of State Member to respond to the needs of the people in his region, especially in times of health emergencies and natural disasters.
