The Chief Executive Officer of Aduro Ye Herbal Centre, producers of Obuasi Bitters, Obuasi Gringo Bitters, Obuasi 442 Ginger Liquor, and Obuasi Baby Diapers, Dr Collins Amo, has come to the rescue of teachers and pupils of Pomposo R/C Primary B by rebuilding their school block, which was destroyed by a devastating fire last year.

The fire wreaked havoc on the school, destroying property worth thousands of cedis, including fridges, textbooks donated by the Otumfuo Osei Tutu II Foundation, computers, laptops, printers, and TV sets.

One year after the incident, teachers and pupils can now heave a sigh of relief. Dr Amo, noted for his philanthropic works and community-centered contributions, undertook the full reconstruction of the facility after the school authorities petitioned him for support.

Himself an old student of the school, the visionary entrepreneur put up a modern structure comprising a spacious staff office, washrooms, and a headmaster’s office. According to Dr Amo, the gesture aligns with his company’s commitment to improving education quality in Obuasi.

“As an old student of the school and a good corporate citizen, we decided to come in and rebuild the structure. We can’t leave everything in the hands of the government alone. We must all support,” he said.

Speaking at the handing-over ceremony, the Obuasi East Municipal Director of Education, Kwabena Owusu Nketia, commended Dr Amo for his continuous investment in education and for supporting meaningful initiatives within the community.

The headmistress of Pomposo R/C Primary B, Regina Ocansey, expressed profound gratitude, describing the intervention as timely and life-saving. She recounted the severe impact the fire disaster had on teaching and learning over the past year.

“We were left helpless after the fire outbreak. A year on, we can only say a big thank you to Dr Collins Amo for coming to our aid,” she said.

Just two weeks ago, Dr Amo, through Aduro Ye Herbal Centre, donated 5,000 baby diapers to health facilities in Obuasi as part of the company’s corporate social responsibility.
