What did Pakas see when he visited Presec?

I made a visit to Presec to see the beneficiaries of this initiative and boy the school looks good. However, the new headmaster, a very progressive man, thinks Odadees still don't have the spirit of helping their alma matta. Can you beleive that the ICT facility at the school does not have any connectivity (Vodafone broadband), and yet the Madina district of Vodafone sits on Presec land and worst, an old boy works there. However, all promises, and no old boy working at Vodafone (ex-Ghana Telecom) has found the need to help the school. Mr Peprah and Co. who prepare the kids also have some old computers (2000 edition), and no internet connectivity.

Level of enthusiasm with current drive perhaphs supports this feeling becuase for all the nostalgia being expressed we have less than 2k now.

Good news is the '76 year group is gearing up to present a new computer to the Staff Common Room by end of the month and we shall ensure that it is internet enabled, "Chief" Ofori Darko is leading that drive, and has the rest of the '76 guys supporting. "Bro" Abankwa is also leading us to get the school overhead tank to solve the water problem. We can look at the provision of borehole to the school as a long term solution after the current crusade to motivate the teachers.

I am yet to find a truly committed Odadee who will open wide his wallet in appreciation of what we got from the school. I hope that current drive would motivate and bring the real supporters in future.

cheers
