The New Tafo Area of The Church of Pentecost held a ceremony on Friday, March 22, 2024, to hand over the renovated Abirem Roman Catholic School building to the school authorities at Abirem in the Kwabre East Municipal, exemplifying their commitment to social services.
The refurbished structure aims at enhancing teaching and learning conditions for the community. For 15 years, the Abirem Roman Catholic Primary and Junior High School lacked proper maintenance, leaving its appearance dismal. Recognising this need, the New Tafo Area of The Church of Pentecost initiated renovation efforts to give the school a facelift.
After months of dedicated work, the building now boasts a fresh coat of paint and improved facilities, leading to increased student enrollment.
During the handing-over ceremony, the Area Head, Prophet Samuel Tetteh Doku, emphasised the importance of providing a conducive learning atmosphere and instilling Kingdom values in the children. According to him, the Church’s “Possessing the Nations” agenda consents to spreading the love of God in every part of the world.
He promised that the Area would keep supporting Abirem Roman Catholic Primary and Junior High School to meet their educational needs and improve teaching and learning.
The Church’s initiative received praise from various quarters, including the Kwabre East Municipal Health Director, who was represented at the event by the Public Relations Officer, Madam Mavis Anane, commending the Church’s contribution to education.
The School Management Committee Chairman, Nana Ohemeng Manu, called for continued support to address challenges such as overcrowded classrooms.
In their commitment to educational development, the Church vowed to sustain efforts in improving infrastructure and fostering a conducive learning environment for both teachers and students.
