Reading Books provided by Ghanaman Trust Fund to Anakum Primary/JSS in the Western Region

Background of Project
In 2015, through the mediating role of Hope Restoration Network, Ghanaman Trust Fund provided support to Anakum primary and JHS in the Amemfi West District of the Western Region. The school library and computer laboratory were to be stocked with books as well as desk-top computers respectively. This support, was to enhance the reading and arithmetic skills  of the pupils and to promote the ICT  skills of the students in the Junior High School.

Status of Project
The Team met the Headmaster, Mr. Francis Armah who had just been transferred to the school. In our interaction with him it was noted the handing notes Mr. Armah received from the former Headmaster did not have the detailed documentation about procurement of computers and books through the support from the Ghanaman Trust Fund. Upon the Team’s request, the Headmaster took them to inspect the computer lab. During the inspection, the Team noted that there were six pieces of desk-top computers donated by Ghana Investment Fund for Electronic Communication (GIFEC) and a few copies of library books also donated by the Hope Resurrection Network (HRN).

Further information as revealed by the new Headmaster indicates it was one Bright Dogbey, a then National Service Personnel who introduced the NGO, HRN somewhere between 2013/2014 to the school and the community. In an effort to get in touch with Mr. Dogbey to ascertain whether the contribution received from Ghanamana Trust Fund  in 2015 was used for the intended purpose, it was rather his brother one Chris Agbesi who picked the call and informed the Team that his brother, Mr, Dogbey was out of the country. He rather gave the Team a contact number of one Isaac Amponsah for any necessary assistance. However, Mr. Amponsah could not meet the Team at the time of inspection and explained that  to the best of his knowledge he was only the caretaker and could not provide any information about the books and desk-top computers and rather referred the Team to the ICT Master for detailed information. Upon the Team’s interaction with the ICT Master, it was noted the available desk-top computers were donated by the GIFEC.
