The Appianyinasehene of Juabeng in the Ashanti Region, Nana Kwanin Kwanfo II for the sixth year running has rallied support for some Junior High schools in the Juaben Municipality.
Having become a common feature on the chief's calendar, he, together with some of his elders distributed stationary items to some selected schools in the municipality.
The items included, packets of exercise books, boxes of mathematical sets, packets of pens and pencils among other items.
To the Appianyinasehene, his driving force over the years has been to augment Otumfuo's Education Fund, hence the annual support.
Speaking after the donation, the chief said, "It is rare to substitute education for anything, hence this campaign. My subjects and I are bent on investing in the children because in them lie our future. I am therefore urging you all to take the reading of your story books serious, it will help you in expressing yourselves in English better.
"Certainly, when we get the basics right, it becomes much easier with the second cycle and tertiary education. I am taking the footsteps of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene."
"This year marks the 51st Anniversary of Dasebre Otuo Siriboe II, the Juabenhene and Chairman of Council of State," he added.
On his part, the Municipal Director of Education, Charles Adu Kumi lauded the Appianyinasehene for his constant support and special interest in children's education in the country.
