Asomah Kyeremeh assists schools with PPE and uniforms

In a related development, Mr. Theophilus Asomah Kyeremeh has presented Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to some basic schools in the Sunyani West Municipality.

The donation is meant to augment government’s contribution to protecting pupils in the various schools within the constituency, and to ensure the safety of school-going children while welcoming them back to school after nine months of closing down of schools across the country due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The beneficiaries were, Chiraa R/C Primary School, Unique International School, Odumasi SDA Basic School, Dumasua R/C Primary School, Nsuatre Presby B. Primary School and Fiapre Methodist School.

The PPE and school uniforms were shared to the schools by Mr Asomah Kyeremeh, who attended the Dumasua R/C Primary School.

Mr. Asomah Kyeremeh’s kind gesture was also extended to some private schools such as Unique International School at Chiraa, all in the name of supplementing the government in the fight against the novel COVID-19 pandemic.

He noted that the government was committed to ensuring the safety of students, especially now that schools have reopened across the country, and reiterated a number of proactive measures the it had put in place to curb the spread of the Covid-19.

Mr Asomah Kyeremeh said that the outbreak of the pandemic must bring people and communities together in a quest to tackle it collectively.

He said: “What this pandemic has taught us is that, as a nation, we cannot sit in our corners. We cannot be divided; we cannot live separated as if we are not one nation. This pandemic has taught us that we are interconnected in ways that we have never imagined before, and it is this interconnection that our full humanity sits on,” Mr Asomah Kyeremeh said, and added that he felt compelled to protect students at all times.

He gave the assurance that the government was doing all within its power to ensure the pandemic is controlled to guarantee public safety and protection of lives, but it would depend on Ghanaians to strictly adhere to the protocols.

Mr. Asomah Kyeremeh tasked management and staff of the schools to enforce and ensure students abide by the laid down protocols by wearing nose masks, practicing social distancing, washing of hands regularly with soap under running water, use of hand sanitisers, and avoid handshakes in order to provide a safe environment for studies.

He said, with schools now in session, it was important that precautions are taken both inside and outside the classroom to prevent the spread of the COVID-19

Mr. Asomah Kyeremeh said the country’s fight against the COVID-19 in schools could face a stiff challenge in the municipality following non-adherence to the protocols.

He, therefore, entreated teachers and parents to also do their part to ensure the safety of their wards and school children in general.

The Headmistress of Chiraa R/C Primary, Mrs. Janet Amoah, received the items on behalf of her school, and expressed gratitude to Mr. Asomah Kyeremeh for his gesture and promised to use them for the intended purposes.
