The Keta Chapter of the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) in the Volta Region has donated two wooden Canoes to Lawoshime and Wenyagor M/A basic schools.
According to the Association, the donation would aid in accessing the school located along the lagoon in the event of flooding and transportation.
The Keta and Anloga chapter Chairman of GNAT, Mattah Ferguson, disclosed that the schools requested the canoes after a tour by the Association to the schools.
He said that some teachers and pupils were finding it difficult to access the school, especially, during the rainy season due to flooding.
Mr Mattah explained that the situation needed attention “since there is no electricity and other good social amenities, with most of the teachers coming from far and may need to cross the river every day for teaching and learning.”
A headteacher at Lawoshime basic school, Alex Midedzi who received the items expressed his appreciation.
He told the GNA that the offer would mitigate the expenses incurred by the teachers and others in boarding a canoe to school.
However, the Assembly member for the area, Alex Ahia thanked the Association for its support.
He called on government and other notable Ghanaians to help rescue residents in the area from problems such as potable drinking water, good roads and others.
