Super Station Joy 99.7FM and Ghana's biggest telecoms operator, MTN, sponsors of the 2010 edition of the Joy FM Annual Old Skuuls Reunion on Wednesday presented three laptops, an MTN router and data package of 1Gb per month for six months to the Okuapemman Senior High School (OKUASS). The presentation was in fulfillment of an sms texting customer participation promotion organized by MTN during the Skuuls Reunion with a promise to give 15 laptops to five Senior High Schools that emerged tops. The highest individual texter also won a laptop, an MTN modem with three months free data. Wednesday's presentation ceremony was also reciprocated simultaneously in four other schools; Yaa Asantewaa Senior High School in Kumasi, Wesley Girls High School in Cape Coast, Apam Senior High School and St Pauls Senior High School at Denu, who also came up with high text messages. Speaking at the short presentation ceremony, Max Fugar, Sales Manager of Joy FM said the presentation was in fulfillment of the promise they made to reward and help equip participating schools with ICT enhancement facilities. He said the stakes will be high for this year’s Old Skuuls Reunion and encouraged schools to look out for much bigger and exciting prizes. Richard Acheampong, General Manager, Marketing Communications at MTN, on his part, said it is the core theme of the MTN Ghana Foundation to help educate and develop Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the country. He said, since the Old Skuuls Reunion is the only biggest platform for old school students to meet and reminisce the good-old-days whiles they have fun, they as the title sponsor decided to use the platform to reward the participating schools. Mr. Felix Essah-Hienno, Headmaster of Okuapemman who received the items, thanked Joy FM and MTN for the kind gesture, saying that it will go a long way to boost the school's ICT lab. He said the donation is coming a time that the school was getting ready to hold its 54th Anniversary Speech and Prize Giving Day on February 12 and the Opoku Acheapong (Founder of the school's) Memorial Lectures on February 8. Mr. Felix Essah-Hienno also used the occasion to appeal for support for its dilapidated sports department, indicating that the school is widely known for its sporting exploits but said it is sad to note that the school is presently ill-equipped in that respect.
