A member of the Mfantsipim Old Boys’ 1989 year group, Mohammed Baakoe, has in conjunction with DRW, his company based in Canada, donated almost GHC250,000 worth of laptops to Mfantsipim School towards the development of the National Maths and Science Quiz team as well as ICT development in the school.
The presentation was made by Baakoe to the Ebusuapanyin of the Mfantsipim Old Boys’ Association (MOBA), Captain Paul Forjoe, at the MOBA secretariat off the Liberia Road in Accra in February.
Making the presentation, Baakoe highlighted the significance of Information and Communication Technology to the development of the youth. He indicated that as someone who had benefitted significantly from the training in information and communications technology, he deemed it integral that all students, especially in high school benefit from practical training in ICT with the requisite equipment such as the laptops donated.
The IT lead at DRW noted that his company recognises the significance of such support to educational institutions and is ready to sustain its collaboration with Mfantsipim, provided it recognises the benefits of the equipment to the school.
Captain Forjoe thanked Baakoe and DRW for their donation and was confident the laptops will go a long way to support the school’s e-learning drive.
Several members of the MOBA 1989 Year Group were on hand to support Baakoe donate the laptops to the school. Also present were Kodwo Morgan and Yaw Subri of the MOBA Secretariat.
Having engineered the presentation of the laptops to the school, Baakoe, who hails from Cape Coast, also found time out of his limited schedule to spend a couple of days volunteering at the school’s e-learning facility, which is managed by another old boy, Seth Ahene.
Besides his mission of helping the virtual development of the school, Baakoe took the opportunity to identify the school’s technological needs at first hand to serve as a guide in seeking further support for the school.
