Miaso: A communication lecturer at Wisconsin International University College, Ghana, Mr. Kofi Yeboah, has donated approximately 700 basic school books to Miaso Krobo D/A Basic School in the Fanteakwa North District, Eastern Region. The donation, which included textbooks for Basic 1 - 9 and storybooks for lower primary pupils, took place at a durbar attended by district education officials, traditional leaders, opinion leaders, teachers, schoolchildren, and parents. According to Ghana News Agency, the books were donated through the support of Adwinsa Publications (GH) Ltd and individuals such as Dr. Paul Kofi Fynn, Chancellor of Wisconsin International University College, Ghana, and Albert Kwabena Dwumfour, President of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA). The press release issued by Mr. Yeboah expressed gratitude to these contributors and hoped for continued support to aid the underprivileged in society. Mr. Yeboah, who completed his post-secondary national service at Miaso Krobo D/A Basic School in 19 92, shared his long-standing desire to assist the school. "It has always been my wish to return to this school, and I'm happy after 33 years, I've gotten the opportunity to come back and donate these books," he said.
