The Ghana Electrical Dealers Association (GEDA) has handed over a fully renovated boys' dormitory block to the Mampong Demonstration School for the deaf in the Eastern Region, bringing relief and joy to the students and staff.

The renovation, valued at approximately GH¢195,000, included painting, electrical lighting, carpentry, replacement of mosquito nets, and installation of street lights.

GEDA also donated essential items such as electrical bulbs, ceiling fans, floodlights, rice, gari, cooking oil, sanitary pads, toilet rolls, and millet.

Speaking during the handing-over ceremony, GEDA President Kwabena Koranteng Asiamah stated that the association's support extends beyond the renovation.

They plan to provide annual maintenance support and renovate additional facilities every two years.

"We will keep supporting. We will be the ones checking on the maintenance of the building and the street lights, not them. They can't do it on their own," Mr Asiamah assured.

GEDA was moved to act after visiting the school and observing the deplorable condition of the boys' block. "It is not all the time that we will call on the government. Individuals and organizations too must sometimes have sympathy for humanity and help," he emphasized.

Asiamah noted that GEDA's commitment to corporate social responsibility drives its investment in humanity. "We are an association that cares about fellow humans; hence the necessary support. Our little money must be used properly in investing in humans rather than using it to party or spending it on our families."

Divine Edem Kodadza, Assistant Headmaster, Administration, expressed profound gratitude to GEDA. He noted that the renovation and installation of street lights have brought immense relief to students and staff.

"The school is now well-lit, facilitating communication through sign language," he said.

Kodadza appealed to others to support the school, emphasizing that hearing-impaired students require resources to become valuable assets to themselves and society.
