Azulenloanu (W/R), Oct. 19, GNA – The Chief, elders and people of Azulenloanu traditional area, a farming community in the Ellembelle District, have climaxed their annual Kundum festival with a fund-raising activity in aid of a community borehole water project and rehabilitation of their school building.
According to Nana Addo Nreda VI, Chief of the town, Azulenloanu was in dire need of water hence the need to initiate a self-help project.
Speaking at the climax of a three-day annual Kundum festival, the Chief appealed to indigenes of the town and other well-meaning individuals to come to the aid of the town.
Nana Addo Nreda VI said since he ascended the throne, he and his elders have committed themselves to developmental projects to improve upon the living standards of people in the community.
The Chief mentioned the provision of a polytank which supplies water to the water closet toilet facility constructed by Mr. Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Ellembelle at Azulenloanu -Kpoda, a suburb of the town.
Nana Addo Nreda VI said they also renovated a mechanized borehole constructed by Tullow Ghana which became dysfunctional at Avinli Kegyina, another suburb of the town.
He said the people of Azoafunli also needed water badly hence the need to organize the first Kundum durbar to appeal for funds towards the water project and painting of the school block.
Nana Addo Nreda used the occasion to appeal to residents of the town to forge ahead in unity and peace and contribute to the development of the community.
He said without forgiveness and unity, no meaningful development could be achieved.
Tufuhyenle Cudjoe appealed to people in the community to forget about the past, love one another and leave a legacy for the coming generation.
He advised parents to send their children to school to become responsible citizens and help change the fortunes of the town.
Mr. Ewereko Bonzoh, the 2028 Ellembelle Parliamentary Candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) who chaired the function, pledged his commitment to the development of the town.
Mr. Bonzoh, who is an indigene of Asasetre but domiciled at Azulenloanu, on behalf of the people of Asasetre near Nkroful, donated GH¢10,000 towards the water project for the Azoafunli community and pledged to paint the entire school building of Azulenloanu.
Mr. Bonzoh promised to further assist the community towards the completion of their water project.
