Update on the E. K. Datsa Fund

Dear Brothers:

Several weeks ago when we were informed of the passing of Former
Headmaster E. K. Datsa, appeal went out for funds to support the
family and also set up an endowed scholarship for needy students at
our beloved Presec.

Then it was suggested that we honor Mr. E. A. Apeadu for his
contribution to our lives (while he is still alive). I write to inform
you that so far ONLY two brothers have contributed to these two funds.
I understand the Mr. Datsa’s funeral is scheduled for sometime next
month (exact date and place will be communicated to you as it is
confirmed by the family).

One thing I have learned from Americans is the support alumni give to
their schools. In some estimated that some schools derive as much as
30 percent of their operating cost from alumni financial contribution.
While several of us have not giving a cent to Presec since we
graduated, I think helping us honor former headmasters in a
worth-while cause for us to embrace.

Donations may be deposited directly into Ghana Commercial Bank,
Kejetia account number 6041020000207 to the attention of Laud Hammond,
or through MoneyGram, Vigo, Samba and other remittance channels that
could be picked up at Ghana Commercial Bank Limited. (Please email
Laud to alert him of your donation either through the Bank or via
MoneyGram, Vigo, Samba, etc. at laudhamm@yahoo.co.uk).

Depending on how much is collected right before the funeral, 40
percent will be giving to the family and 60 percent used to set up the
E. K. Datsa Memorial Endowment Fund (income from this will be used to
award scholarships to needy students at Presec).

Funds collected in Mr. Apeadu’s name will be presented to him as a
Christmas present in December.

Please let us make ourselves proud by giving generously to the Datsa
funeral and the E. K.Datsa Memorial Endowment and the Apeadu Funds,
and please pass this email along to friends and other Old Presecans
who are not listed here and ask them to do the same. Laud will be
updating us weekly on the totals received.

I'm counting on those near and dear to Presec to help us do something
to solidify the bond we have with our alma mater.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch with me.


Thank you for your kind consideration of the urgent appeal and
enduring this long but worthwhile email. With kind personal regards,
I am

Fraternally yours,
