A group of German philanthropists led by Ms Cornelia von Wulfing is to undertake a 10-year School Feeding Programme costing more than 150,000 Ghana Cedis at the Alavanyo Senior High Technical School (ASTECH) and the Nkonya-Tayi Roman Catholic Primary School. Other members of the group are Ms Wulfing's daughter, Sara Fayed, and Mr and Mrs Enzberg Pieper. Ms Wulfing, also "Ngoryifiaga", Development Queen of Saviefe, Akrofu, Sovie and Alavanyo Development Union (SASADU) announced the programme at its inauguration at Alavanyo-Kpeme at the weekend. She has constructed a girls' dormitory block and provided a school bus to ASTECH. Ms Wulfing said the group's School Feeding Programme known as the "Alamsamo" initiative, aimed at helping to break the poverty cycle in those communities, improve the health of students and pupils and encourage them, especially girls, to concentrate on their education. Togbega Tsedze Atakora VII, Paramount Chief of Alavanyo Traditional Area, praised Mamaga Akosua (Ms Wulfing) for her development initiatives in the SASADU communities. He cautioned the citizens against unsolicited interference in the implementation of the "Alamsamo" initiative. Nana Okoto Kofi III, Paramount Chief of Nkonya, said he was happy that the two traditional areas that were formerly foes have begun attracting the goodwill of the international community now that they have chosen the path of peaceful co-existence. Mr John Peter Amewu, Hohoe Municipal Chief Executive, said he was happy that the private sector was beginning to get involved in expanding the horizon of the Government's School Feeding Programme. Togbega Gabusu VI, President of Volta Regional House of Chiefs, urged the beneficiary communities to adopt and support the programme and see in it the beginning of many good things coming their way following the cessation of hostilities between them. Mr Maxwell Blue, Headmaster of ASTECH, thanked the philanthropists for their gesture and drew attention to lack of potable water at the School and inadequate infrastructure to cater for the increasing student population.
