Pupils in Klo Djekiti appeal for electricity, computer lab
Correspondence from the Eastern Region
Form Two Junior High School (JHS) students at the Klo Djekiti M/A Basic School in the Lower Manya Krobo Municipality are appealing to the government to connect the community to the national grid so they can have electricity to enhance their learning.
Making their appeal in an interview with Ghanaweb s Eastern Regional correspondent, McAnthony Dagyenga, at Klo Djekiti, the pupils also requested for a computer lab in their school to enable them to access practical ICT teaching and learning.
“I am a student in JHS two. We don’t have light here. In the evening we find it difficult to learn. So, we want the government to provide light for us,” 16-year-old Bernice Tetteh said.
American Ambassador assists Klo Djekiti CHPS compound
Correspondence from Eastern Region:
The American Ambassador to Ghana, Stephanie S. Sullivan, through her special “Ambassador’s Self Help Programme”, has assisted once inoperable Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compound at Klo Djekiti to start functioning.
But for her swift and timely assistance, the CHPS compound would still have been sitting unused since almost every equipment in the facility was donated by Ambassador Sullivan under her special self-help programme.
As a result of Ghanaweb’s report in April, the newly built CHPS compound, which was rendered useless due to lack of electricity, water and health equipment needed to deliver healthcare to Klo Djekiti community in the Lower Manya Krobo Municipality, is now functioning fully to the benefit of the rural folks.
