In a compassionate response to the aftermath of the devastating Kpong and Akosombo dam spillage last October, the Ghana Bar Association (GBA) has demonstrated its commitment to the education sector in the flood-stricken North-Tongu district of the Volta Region.
Through a heartfelt gesture, the GBA donated essential educational materials to help revitalise teaching and learning in the region.
Led by Mr Yaw Acheampong Boafo, President of the Ghana Bar Association, a delegation of four high-profile members convened at a brief ceremony to hand over the much-needed supplies to the North-Tongu education directorate.

It is expected that the donated items, which include pens, pencils, exercise books, crayons and others will make a tangible difference in classrooms affected by the recent floods.
Addressing the media at the event, Mr Boafo reiterated the GBA's unwavering dedication to enhancing education in the district, particularly in the aftermath of the floods that significantly impacted students and educators alike.
He underscored the importance of supporting the district's students, recognizing them as the future leaders of the nation. "These students are our future leaders. Many would become great lawyers as we are, so we need to protect and provide for them to secure the future of the country.”
The same applies to our teachers," he affirmed, emphasising the GBA's ongoing commitment to the welfare and educational advancement of flood-affected areas.

In response to the generous donation, Mrs. Isabella Ayimey, the North Tongu District Education Director, expressed heartfelt gratitude to the GBA for their invaluable support.
Assuring that the educational materials would be put to optimal use, she appealed to other corporate entities within and outside Ghana to follow suit and extend their assistance to schools grappling with the aftermath of the floods.
Mrs Ayimey also highlighted the urgent need for additional furniture to facilitate the teaching and learning process, urging teachers who may have contemplated leaving the district due to the flood's impact to reconsider their decision.
