A remarkable act of generosity was recently carried out by the 74-year-old alumni group of Opoku Ware Senior High School, as they presented a brand-new generator valued at $40,000 to their alma mater. The donation, aimed at enhancing the school’s power supply, was officially announced during an interview with Katakyie Kofi Nsiah Poku, a key figure in the alumni association.
The new generator will be installed at the school to ensure a stable power supply, particularly during times of power outages, thus creating a conducive environment for both academic and extracurricular activities. The group’s thoughtful donation reflects their deep commitment to the well-being and development of the school and its students.
In an interview, Katakyie Kofi Nsiah Poku elaborated on the reasoning behind this significant donation. He noted that the alumni, despite having graduated decades ago, remain keenly aware of the challenges facing current students, especially in regard to consistent electricity. He stressed that reliable electricity is crucial for academic success and overall school operations.
“Opoku Ware Senior High School played a pivotal role in shaping who we are today. We understand how vital a steady power supply is for the students, and that’s why we have chosen to give back in this meaningful way,” Nsiah Poku said. “The generator is not just a machine; it is a symbol of our enduring bond with the school, and a reminder that the success of one generation should support the next.”
The alumni’s gesture has been met with widespread appreciation from the school’s administration, as the donation promises to ease the challenges posed by frequent power disruptions. The headmaster of Opoku Ware Senior High School expressed immense gratitude for the alumni’s commitment to improving the school’s infrastructure.
“This is a truly remarkable gesture, and we cannot thank the alumni enough for their generosity,” the headmaster said. “The new generator will undoubtedly make a significant difference in the daily operations of the school. It will help ensure that our students’ education is never interrupted by power cuts, and that they can continue to study and grow without hindrance.”
The $40,000 donation comes at a time when the school is seeking to enhance its facilities and provide students with the best possible learning environment. The generator will be essential not only for academic purposes but also for supporting school events, administrative functions, and other extracurricular activities that are dependent on a stable power supply.
The contribution of the alumni group marks just one chapter in a growing relationship between the school and its graduates. Many alumni have committed to providing both financial and material support, ensuring that Opoku Ware Senior High School continues to meet the needs of its students and remains a leader in education for years to come.
As the 74-year-old alumni group looks ahead, they are focused on further supporting the school in various ways, with plans to continue their involvement in the school’s development. The generator is only the beginning of what promises to be an ongoing partnership that will benefit current and future generations of Opoku Ware Senior High School students.
This generous donation highlights the powerful impact that alumni can have on their alma mater. Through their collective effort, the alumni have demonstrated how a committed group can come together to ensure that the legacy of their school endures and thrives.
