Member of Parliament for Sene East in the Brong Ahafo Region, Dominic Napare has donated 3,000 pairs of shoes to primary and Junior High Schools in the district.
He said his kind gesture was made possible with support from a Non-Governmental Organization, Bright Generation Foundation who in recognizing the deprived nature of the area decided to help the students in this regard.
In an interview the Hon. Dominic Napare stated that he was touched by the plight of the students some of who went to school barefooted, a situation which to him was dehumanizing and needed to be addressed.
He noted that his move is also to compliment the good efforts of the government which has distributed free school uniforms to the students.
“This will ensure the kids dress neatly to school and be more presentable in class, that will also entice the teachers to give off because when there is decency in the classroom and the classroom environment is conducive, teaching and learning goes on, that is the rationale behind it’’ he said.
Hon.Napare emphasized his dedication to ensuring that the standard of education in the area receives a major boast.
