Rural Bank supports scholarship benefits
Kuntanse (Ash), Jan. 9, Ghanadot/GNA- The
Bosomtwe Rural Bank at Kuntanase has since 1998 supported
about 40 children of its shareholders to the tune of GH¢25,000
in scholarships to continue their education.
Mr Kwabena Antwi, Acting Administrative Manager of the bank,
who made this known, said beneficiaries who are day students
in Senior High Schools were each given GH¢30 per term while
those in boarding houses were given between GH¢110 to GH¢250
per term depending on the schools they attend.
He was speaking over the weekend when he presented 100 bags
of cement to the Integrated Community Centre for Employable
Skills (ICCES) at Tetrefu in the Bosomtwe-Atwima-Kwanwoma
District to support the construction of an electrical
workshop for the centre.
Mr Antwi explained that the support was part of the bank's
social responsibility to enhance the development of
education in the country as well as easing the burden on
their parents.
The Administrative Manager indicated that the bank has also
been supporting communities in its catchment's area with
roofing sheets, cement and other building materials when
necessary to develop the communities.
He said the bank last year donated two hundred Ghana cedis
towards the celebration of the "Opemsuo" festival of the
chiefs and people of Kokofu and also donated similar package
to the SOS children village at Asiakwa in the Eastern Region
to support the home.
Mr Daniel Amo, the Centre Manager, who received the cement
commended the bank for the gesture and pledged to use it
judiciously to enhance teaching and learning at the centre.
