Sunyani, Bono, May 30, GNA – Miss Patience Baffoe, a Senior Staff Nurse at the Sunyani Teaching Hospital has advised girls to preserve their virginity to enjoy their future marriages.
She said pre-marital sexual practices would not only expose them to sexually transmitted infections but could also affect their future marriage.
Ms Baffoe gave the advice when Wensah Foundation International, a Non-governmental organization, distributed boxes of sanitary pads to the primary six and Junior High School girls of the Nyamaa Basic School in Sunyani.
The beneficiaries were between the ages of 12 and 16 years. However, Ms Baffoe advised girls who could not abstain and control their sexual appetite not to have sex whenever they menstruated, saying that bad practice exposed those engaged in that to infections.
She told the girls that pre-marital sex was could also truncate their education and thereby make them useless in society.
Madam Constance Gyansah, the Headmistress of the Nyamaa Basic School thanked the foundation for the kindness and appealed to the public to support in painting the school.
Mr Isaac Isaac Osei Amponsah, the Chief Executive Officer of the Foundation told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) that the foundation focused on improving the general wellbeing of vulnerable people in society.
