Palestinian envoy builds 3-unit classroom block for Dramani Kope
The Palestinian Ambassador to Ghana, Abdalfatah Ahmed Khalil Alsatarri, has donated a three-unit classroom block to the people of Dramani Kope in the North Tongu District of the Volta Region.
Commissioning the facility on Friday, the envoy said the project fulfilled a promise he made to the community during an earlier visit with the Member of Parliament (MP), Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, when residents appealed for a new school to replace their dilapidated structure.
He added that the initiative was part of his mission’s ongoing support for under-served Muslim communities in Ghana.
Mr Alsatarri, who has previously provided the community with a mosque, a mechanised borehole and washrooms, expressed joy at the smiles on the faces of the schoolchildren.
“I pray to see some of them become teachers, doctors, nurses and professors in the future,” he said, while announcing plans for a “big, big project” in the area.
He used the occasion to urge Ghanaian leaders, chiefs and parents to place the welfare of children at the centre of national development, stressing that Ghana must not take for granted the peace and opportunity it has to educate its young generation.
The District Chief Executive (DCE) of the area, Victoria Amefadzi-Yawa Doe, described the facility as “one of its kind in the district” and pledged that the Assembly and Education Directorate would ensure its maintenance.
