Accra Jan. 25, GNA – The Reverend Dr Nii Amoo Darku, a former Council of State Member, has charged students of the Kaneshi Senior High Technical School (KATECO), to seek to better the lives of others in society.
To do so, he urged them to devote themselves dutifully to their education and make God the centre of everything they would do in both their academic and social endeavours.
That, he noted would make them excel in school and impact the lives of others in society.
The author of Christian books said this to encourage the students in an interview with the Ghana News Agency on the sidelines of the dedication of an-18 unit classroom block for KATECO in his honour on Monday.
The occasion saw the School present a citation to Rev Dr Darku, a former student of the School, for his instrumental role in facilitating the expansion and completion of the classroom block, which was originally a six-unit project.
Miss Pearl Bruce, the Headmistress of the School, who was due to retire, after serving the school for six years was also presented with a 65 inches QLED television by the Old Students Association.
Rev Dr Darku, said, “in this life, there’s a beginning point, and seeking the welfare of the people in your society ends up becoming a good thing for yourself.”
He added that: “I wasn’t like this when I came to school here. It was from here that I met Jesus and with the love shown to me, I purposed in my heart that wherever I go, I’ll try to make a difference.
“It has, therefore, been my principle that wherever God sends me, I must make a difference. I have always desired in the heart that God has given to me to always not live the place (be it my home, church and school) the same as I met it.”
Mr Joseph Nii Sempe Nyarko, Chair of the programme and also an old student of KATECO, asked the students to ensure that they were disciplined.
Ms Bruce, thanked the Old Students for the donation, and expressed appreciation to both the teaching and non-teaching staff, students, and various Boards she worked with for their support throughout her tenure.
