The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Cosmo Developers, Nadine Jaber, has donated assorted items to the Manhean T.M.A. 1 Junior High School (JHS) in Tema to enhance teaching and learning.
The items include stationery, school bags, student desks, toiletries, and refreshments comprising over 200 packs of Perla mineral water and assorted soft drinks.
Making the presentation, Ms Nadine Jaber explained that the corporate social responsibility initiative was aimed at improving the learning environment and supporting the well-being of students in the community.
“This donation is not just about supplies, it’s about showing these students that they matter; education is the foundation of every thriving society, and we at Cosmo Developers are proud to contribute to its growth. My company is trying to make a change to make Ghana more beautiful by constructing buildings that are beautiful. I love to give to the community because the community would give back to me in the future,” Ms Nadine Jaber mentioned.
She commended the teachers and management of the school for their hard work while admonishing the learners to be disciplined and focused on their education.
The CEO again pledged to continue supporting educational initiatives across Ghana, reinforcing Cosmo Developers’ commitment to youth empowerment and community development.
“Teaching is a very difficult job, but students can sometimes make it easy. So, I plead with the students to support your teachers to help you because you are the future of Ghana,” she admonished.
The Headmistress of the school, Gifty Adjoa Mensah, noted that the stationery and bags would support students to better engage in their studies, while the desks would ease overcrowding in classrooms. She added that the toiletries and refreshments would also enhance student hygiene and boost morale.
The Deputy Director for Monitoring and Supervision at the Tema Metropolitan Education Directorate, Ms Christiana Ablakwa, in her remarks, highlighted the importance of such gestures by corporate organisations and individuals to the development of education and empowerment of pupils.
“When we see companies come to our schools to give us support, I feel so happy because our schools are not private and our students are largely from vulnerable homes with parents struggling so much to make ends meet,” she said.
According to her, “most of our students have turned into parents themselves because after school they have to go and work to get money to buy their learning materials, whilst some of them come to school on empty stomachs.”
