Kind MP Donates Chopboxes and Trunks To Support Over 200 Ekumfi JHS Graduates Entering SHS

• Over 200 first-year SHS students in Ekumfi in the Central Region have received chopboxes, trunks and food items
• The items were donated by MP for the Ekumfi constituency, Abeiku Crestil, to support parents
• Abeiku Crestil has said the donation is a social intervention policy to help the students and the parents in his constituency

More than 200 graduates of the Junior High School (JHS) Ekumfi who are set to start their Senior High School (SHS) education have been given a major boost by their Member of Parliament.

The lawmaker for Ekumfi Abeiku Crestil has donated hundreds of three of the very critical items fresh SHS students usually need to go to school: Wooden boxes to store food (aka chopboxes), metallic trunks and food items.

According to a story by Citi News, the MP has explained that the support to the students who have gained admission is to help parents who may not have saved enough money to buy the times for their children to take to school.

"We all know that our people are farmers, and they get their money annually, so we decided to do this as a social intervention policy to cushion parents,” the kind MP explained.

The gesture has been praised by parents and students.

Efua Adadewa, a parent whose child received a chopbox, trunk and food items, the donation by the MP was timely because she would not have been able to provide them to her child before school starts later in February.
