The Reverend Benjamin Appiah, the Chairperson of the Brong-Ahafo Presbytery on Friday presented food items to be distributed to two Senior High Schools (SHSs) in the Ahafo Region.

The Bechem Presbyterian SHS (PRESEC) received 20 bags of rice and six bags of maize, while the Techimantia Samuel Otu Presbyterian SHS got 10 bags of rice and four bags of maize.

 According to Rev. Appiah the food items were to be prepared for the final year students of the schools writing the West African Senior High School Certificate Examination.

Speaking at a short ceremony in Sunyani, the Presbytery Chairperson said the items were the church’s widow’s mite to augment government’s efforts in feeding the students, and asked the school authorities to use them for the intended purpose.

As key partner of development, Rev. Appiah gave the assurance the church would continue support the government to enhance quality education in the country, aside the spiritual growth of members of the church.

Describing the support as timely, Mr Edwin Odame Amoah, the Headmaster of PRESEC, thanked the church for the assistance, saying the items would greatly help the school to feed the 1,317 final year students for a period of two weeks.
