A scene during the donation
PHARMACEUTICAL giant, Ernest Chemists Limited, has donated assorted computer items and a brand new Hyundai H1 bus to the Adisadel College at Cape Coast in the Central Region.
The items included laptops, desk top computers, printers and other accessories.
The donation was made on the occasion of the 109th speech, prize-giving and founder’s day celebrations of the school.
Making the donation, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Ernest Chemists Limited, Ernest Bediako Sampong, who is an old student of the school, said the donation formed part of the company’s sustainable corporate social responsibility in ensuring that the school’s transport system and information and communication technology are improved.
The Chairman of the Board of Governors of Adisadel College and the Anglican Bishop of Cape Coast, Rt.Rev. Reginald Atta-Baffoe, thanked Mr. Bediako Sampong for the support.
He indicated that the bus and other items had come in time to save the college of many challenges it faced and promised the items would be put to good use.
Mr. Bediako Sampong, who was the guest speaker at the speech day, told the gathering which included President Akufo-Addo that “these are exciting times for Ghana and Africa at large because I see a generation who are poised and girding up their loins to beat the odds, challenge the status quo and venture into ‘forbidden’ territory.”
He said the Adisadel spirit of self-help and determination is synonymous with the country’s national agenda, ‘Ghana Beyond Aid’.
“We caught this spirit when we decided that putting the best part of our trust in what others can do for us is the surest way to discontentment, frustration, humiliation and ultimately death of all dreams and aspirations,” Mr. Bediako Sampong added.
“This is who we are, dear Santaclausians, to be anything less is unforgiveable. And rightly so, our school ode is the mantra that challenges us to set a standard for those after us, that is so much higher than what was set before us,” he highlighted.
