This donation is part of the group’s ongoing commitment to improving the infrastructure of the school and promoting a conducive environment for teaching and learning.
Speaking during the donation ceremony, the president of the 2000 Year Group, Mr. Joe Duffour Junior, popularly known as Joe Waladi, emphasized the importance of supporting the institution that played a key role in shaping their future. Mr. Duffour explained that the school’s administration had reached out to the alumni group to highlight the challenges the school was currently facing. As a result, the 2000 Year Group decided to step in and provide much-needed assistance.
“Many of us here have benefited from the educational foundation this school gave us, and it is only right that we give back to help the school overcome its challenges and ensure the next generation of students has the best possible environment to learn and grow,” Mr. Duffour remarked. He also encouraged other alumni groups to contribute to the school’s development, emphasizing the collective responsibility to ensure that the institution continues to thrive.

Mrs. Rebecca Tetteh, a representative of the school’s administration, received the donation on behalf of the school. She expressed heartfelt appreciation for the timely gesture, acknowledging that the donation would significantly improve the school’s infrastructure and positively impact the students’ educational experience.
“This donation has come at a crucial time, and we are incredibly grateful for the support. It will help us address some of the challenges we face in creating an optimal learning environment for our students,” Mrs. Tetteh said. She also took the opportunity to highlight some of the school’s ongoing needs, specifically calling for the installation of CCTV cameras at strategic points across the campus to ensure the safety and security of the students.
Mrs. Tetteh further appealed to other alumni groups to follow the example set by the 2000 Year Group and continue to support the school in its efforts to grow and improve.
The generous donation from the 2000 Year Group serves as an important reminder of the role alumni play in supporting the ongoing development of their alma mater. By giving back, the alumni ensure that future generations of students will have access to better facilities and a more conducive environment for learning. This collaboration between alumni and the school community is crucial for the continued success of Kumasi Anglican SHS and its students.
