ANANSE REACH CONCEPT SUPPORTS CHILDREN AT NAWURI (PAGE 29)

Story: Vincent

THE Founder of Ananse Reach Concept (ARC), a child-driven movement, Nana Adwoa Oforiwaa Anti, has expressed concern over the poor state of school buildings in rural communities of the Northern Region.
“Wherever I travel up north, most of the school buildings I see do not have windows but small design block openings. The rooms are not very bright and this may affect the vision of children in the future,” she pointed out.
Nana Anti said this in an interview with the Daily Graphic after the movement had distributed relief items to children at Nawuri in the Northern Region.
She called on the Ghana Education Service (GES) to consider changing the design of school buildings currently being put up in rural areas.
Nana Anti called on the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the Ministry of Women and Children’s Affairs to give children the needed support by providing some interventions tailored towards enhancing their total development.
The Country Co-ordinator of ARC, Madam Humu Kusum, called on parents to help inculcate in their children the sense of compassion and love for their fellow human beings.
