The 2003 year group of Kpando Secondary School Old Students Association (KOSA), on Saturday, 21st February, held a social gathering in the Volta Regional capital, Ho, to unveil plans to construct an 18-unit classroom block with auxiliary facilities for their alma mater.

The initiative forms part of activities leading up to the school’s 75th anniversary celebrations.

President of the year group, Mr Gift Tsamah Esq, said the project would be completed in less than three years to coincide with the milestone anniversary.

"We are hoping that by mid-year, this year (2026), we will be able to break ground. Anywhere we will get money to execute this project, we will be knocking on your doors to be able to harness the necessary resources to execute this before the 75th anniversary, which is less than three years from today," he said.

"We are calling on all well-meaning citizens of the country because Kpando Secondary School has provided education not only to the indigines of the Kpando locality or the Volta region, but across the country, so we are calling on any philanthropist who has education at heart to be able to assist us as a year group to champion this and be able to execute it in record time so that by the 75th anniversary we will be able to hand over this facility to the school."

Mr Tsamah further appealed to the general public and benevolent individuals to support the construction of the facility, noting that external partnerships would be critical to delivering the project within the stipulated timeframe.

He explained that upon completion, the classroom block would significantly reduce congestion and address persistent classroom shortages facing the school.

"The truth is that the school lacks essential infrastructure, which should be available to execute good education for our younger ones. So it is to just alleviate such challenges, that is why we have decided to construct the 18-unit classroom block, which will serve as an add-on facility for the school to take care of the large number the school currently manages," he said.

The year group expressed optimism that with sustained commitment and broad-based support, the project would stand as a lasting legacy for future generations of students.

The gathering was climaxed by merry-making, fun games, and shared memories.

Mr Tsamah urged members of the 2003 cohort to rally behind the initiative and make meaningful contributions towards its successful execution.
