Professor Richard Ephraim, the department head of medical laboratory science at the University of Cape Coast, has appealed to the people of Adagya and its environs in the Bosomtwe District of Ashanti to support the Adams Foundation wholeheartedly to help those who are bright but needy to develop their talents and skills for their future.
According to him, this will help improve individual skills, provide job opportunities, promote good health, and create an enabling environment and security consciousness for the betterment of the people in the Adegya community.
“I see the Adams Foundation as a good call for the development of Adegyaman. The foundation aims to raise funds to support brilliant but needy students to have access to education despite the introduction of the free senior high school policy by the government. I am appealing for all-inclusive support the this foundation’s dream come to a reality”. Prof. Richard Ephraim made this appeal while launching the foundation at Adegya on Sunday 25th February, 2024.
Addressing the gathering was Nana Kofi Boakye, the chief linguist of Adagya who on behalf of Adagya Chief, Nana Owoahene Acheampong thanked the Assemblyman of Adagya, Hon. Emmanuel Adams for making such a dream a reality to the benefit of the people of Adagya.
He advises the board of trustees to ensure transparency, and accountability and be trustful to one another to help them ascertain the goal of the foundation.
“In everything, trust is important, and I wish we could exhibit it among ourselves and work together with transparency, and accountability to develop Adagyaman”. Nana Kofi Boakye said.
Hon. Emmanuel Adams, Adagya Assemblyman and the Founder of Adams Foundation in his speech revealed that he had this dream when he was in school years ago and waiting for a time like this to come.
“I was motivated to make this dream come true for brilliant but needy people like myself to realize their dreams despite their financial constraints through education and skill training amongst others”. He hinted.
According to Adams, he was brilliant but needy, and due to that he didn’t get schooling easily until someone came his way to support him and the person was Nana Akosah Yiadom, the Past Amakomhene who took him by hand to Sims Electrical Engineering School to study and here he is today.
“I am doing it as the fulfillment of my dream and God’s purpose and also to honor Nana Akosah Yiadom, the Past Amakomhene who made me who I am today”
