German couple donates to Street Academy
Mrs Sabrina Addo, a German national married to a Ghanaian, on Wednesday presented a cash amount of GH₵3,000.00 to the Street Academy in Accra.
The gesture, according to Mrs Addo, who was supported by her husband, was to offer support to the Academy.
Mrs Addo, who works as an accountant at Freie Waldorfschule Freudenstadt International School in Germany, told The Spectator that the amount was to support the management of the Academy in taking care of the children.
She said the effort being put in by the Academy to support underprivileged children was commendable, adding that “the management of the Academy must be commended for the efforts to rid the streets of these unfortunate children and give them some life.
“The Academy is doing a great job. There are hundreds of these children here, and they are fed daily with support from individuals and organisations. If we don’t help them at this stage, they would grow to become burdens on society.”
Mrs Addo stated that she would make a similar donation when she visits again from Germany.
“What actually matters is the availability of funds and logistics to support teaching and learning at the Academy. This contribution will help enhance the educational experience for the students,” she added.
Ataa Lartey, the Director of the Academy, thanked Ms Addo for the gesture, saying it would go a long way to support their activities.
He urged other individuals to also come to the aid of the Academy, not just in cash but with logistics to aid the grooming of the children in cultural and sporting activities.
