“I know that this is going to be an opportunity that will last for many, many years to come,” the rapper added.
He assured the public that building this classroom block marks the beginning of his philanthropic activities in Ghana and his relationship with the country
“As I look around, I see a lot of beautiful students here from Nuaso Anglican Primary. And for me, education is the pillar of any community. And so with that being said, Ghana, I appreciate you all. I thank you for accepting me as your brother,” he said.
This comes days after he announced his visit to Ghana to follow through on his previous commitment to build a school project in the country.
Sharing a flyer of the project, Ja Rule revealed his collaboration with the non-profit organization, Pencils of Promise.
