NINETEEN students from Komenda who are in senior high schools have benefited from the Dr J.S. Annan and Elizabeth Aba Annan Memorial Educational Fund.
The amount depends on how much the beneficiaries pay at their respective schools as day or boarding students
The fund, launched in 2006, is designed to provide financial assistance to the underprivileged brilliant children to further their education at the senior high school level.
It is also aimed at empowering the youth to be role models and inspire others.
Making the presentation to the beneficiaries, made up of 12 males and seven females, the secretary to the board, Mr Samuel Nana Sarpong, said the fund had since its inception sponsored 12 students in senior high schools.
Mr Sarpong advised the beneficiaries to study hard to justify the award, and urged them to participate in extra curricular activities, as well as take up leadership positions in their schools.
He encouraged them to engage in community work while at the same time setting high academic standards,
In a related development, the Omanhene of the Komenda Traditional Area, Nana Kodwo Kru II, has appealed to the KEEA (Municipal Assembly) to complete work on the library and the Information Technology Centre at Komenda to enhance ICT education in the area
Nana Kodwo Kru further appealed to the assembly to carry out the expansion work at the health centre to facilitate health delivery at the centre.
