• The canoes would help pupils access school along the lagoon
The Keta Chapter of the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) in the Volta Region has donated two wooden Canoes to Lawoshime and Wenyagor M/A basic schools for effective accessibility.
This, they said, would aid in accessing the school located along the lagoon in the event of flooding and transportation.
Mr Mattah Ferguson, the Keta and Anloga chapter Chairman of GNAT, disclosed to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) the schools requested for the canoes after a tour by the Association to the schools.
He disclosed that some teachers and pupils were finding it difficult to access the school, especially during the raining season due to flooding.
The situation, Mr Mattah disclosed, needed attention “since there is no electricity and other good social amenities, most of the teachers come from far and may need to cross the river everyday for teaching and learning.”
Mr Alex Midedzi, Headteacher at Lawoshime basic school, who received the items expressed much appreciation over the offer.
He told the GNA the offer would mitigate the expenses incurred by the teachers and others in boarding a canoe to school.
Mr Alex Ahia, Assembly member for the area, thanked the donors for the support.
He called on government and other well meaning Ghanaians to help rescue residents in the area from other problems such as potable drinking water, good roads, and others. -GNA

Christians have been urged to demonstrate a living faith in Jesus Christ by allowing their confession of Him as Lord and Saviour to reflect in their daily lives.
According to the Kaneshie District Pastor of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana (EPCG), Rev. Dzidzor Nathaniel Affram, a genuine Christian’s confession should go beyond words and be demonstrated through obedience to God, love for others and service to the Church.
He made the call at the 40th anniversary remembrance service for the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo at the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana, Maranatha Congregation at Awudome Avenui in the Volta Region.
Speaking on the theme, “The Church Built on a Living Confession,” Rev. Affram said life would continually present challenges capable of testing Christians’ faith, making it necessary for believers to hold firmly to their confession that Jesus Christ is Lord.
He explained that accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour required Christians to live according to His teachings, stressing that their faith must be evident in their conduct.
“A living confession listens to God and not man,” he said, urging Christians to remain obedient to God even when faced with difficulties and pressures.
Rev. Affram further encouraged the congregation to care for vulnerable people and demonstrate concern for others, adding that such acts were practical expressions of Christian faith.
He also urged Christians to identify and use their God-given gifts to build the Church.
He said every member of the Church had a role to play and cautioned Christians against looking down on others because of their status or abilities.
The remembrance service brought together family members, friends, members of the congregation and sympathisers to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo.
