Atebubu, (Bono East), May 19, GNA – The Grace Asantewaa Foundation, a Non-governmental Organisation has presented sports items to some Senior High Schools (SHS) in the Bono East Region.
Each of the schools, including the Atebubu, Amantin, and New Konkrompe SHSs respectively, received a number of footballs, sets of jerseys and soccer bibs.
Additionally, the foundation established by Grace Asantewaa, a kingpin of the nation’s women national team, the Black Queens, and a player of the Mexican’s FC Juarez Femeni side, presented similar items to 90 footballers.
In an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) sports on the sidelines of a ceremony held at Atebubu, Miss Asantewaa said the donation was in line with the execution of the foundation’s social responsibility programmes to give back to society.
Ms Asantewaa, a native of Atebubu, said the area had enormous sporting talents, stressing the foundation’s commitment to support and help earth and nurture those talents, especially football.
She indicated that women’s football remained a lucrative enterprise, and asked parents to help develop and build the sporting talents of their girls, saying it was untrue that female footballers were infertile. Representatives of the beneficiary schools thanked the foundation for the items and prayed for more of that support.
Ms Asantewaa later presented undisclosed sums of money to the Atebubu Peace and Love Orphanage Home and feted with the inmates.
