”Immediately after I heard the case I called the coordinating director and also the Queen mother to report the case to the police to take inventory about the incident even before I comes back to Ghana. I took the pain about the lost of the accessories and so as at yesterday I have handed over everything to the community leaders.” she stated.

According to her, she notice that, the whole of Fanteakwa District lack amenities especially ICT lab which could help improve the students studies especially those in the high schools inside and the communities around Osino will benefit from it as well.
