In a gesture of educational goodwill, the Oscar Onai Foundation extended a helping hand to Likpe Bala E/P Basic School, donating a plethora of books to enrich the academic resources of the institution. The event, held on the 7th of December 2023, not only saw the influx of literary treasures but also celebrated the academic achievements of the school’s brightest minds.

Mr. Oscar Onai, founder of the benevolent organisation, graced the occasion with his presence, personally overseeing the distribution of the donated books. Alongside this act of generosity, Mr. Onai took the opportunity to recognize and reward excellence among the school’s students.

The ceremony, attended by an array of esteemed guests, including staff, learners, parents, the Assembly man, opinion leaders, and members of the school management committee, was a testament to the collaborative spirit of community support in fostering educational development.

In a message delivered on behalf of Mr. Prosper Anane, the headteacher of Likpe Bala E/P Basic School, he expressed profound gratitude on behalf of the school community for the invaluable contribution made by the Oscar Onai Foundation. “These books will go a long way to enable us to carry out our literacy development programme in the school and enrich the educational journey of our students,” remarked Mr. Anane.

Adding to the significance of the occasion, Mrs. Patience Dumelor, a former headteacher and Chairman of the School Management Committee, commended the foundation for its dedication to advancing education in underprivileged communities. “The impact of such initiatives resonates far beyond the confines of this schoolyard, shaping the future leaders of our nation,” Mrs. Dumelor remarked, her words echoing the sentiment of the many people who were present.

The highlight of the event was the recognition of academic prowess, as Mr. Oscar Onai awarded the best-performing learners in each class. The recipients, beaming with pride, stood as shining examples of diligence and commitment to scholarly pursuits.

As the ceremony concluded, the echoes of gratitude lingered in the air, serving as a poignant reminder of the transformative power of collective goodwill and the unwavering belief in the potential of every child to soar to greater heights through education.
