Mawuli School Old Students Donate 200 Desks and Five Projectors

Former students of Mawuli School who completed in 2006 have presented 200 mono desks, five projectors and five digital projector screens to the school in Ho as part of their 20th anniversary celebrations.

The items were handed over by the 2006 year group of the Old Mawuli Students Union (OMSU), as first reported by Citi News. The presentation was the centrepiece of the group's anniversary programme, which took place during the union's annual congress.

The congress gathered old students back at their former school to reconnect with it and mark 20 years since they left.

The celebration in Ho ran over a weekend and included social events, mentorship sessions and efforts to support the school.

Members toured the houses and dormitories they once lived in, ate together in the school dining hall and joined the Saturday evening entertainment.

According to the report, the Sunday church service proved an emotional moment, as the old students sang songs they remembered from their time at the school.

On Friday, the year group also met current students for a mentorship session. It was led by Dr Sussie Anku and Rev. John Bosco and centred on sexuality and good morals, with guidance for students on making responsible choices and coping with the difficulties of adolescence.

The president of OMSU 2006, Ing. Desmond Fiakegbe, thanked members, supporters and the school's management for helping to make the anniversary a success.

He singled out members in Ghana and abroad whose contributions funded the donation, and thanked the headmaster, staff and students for the welcome the group received. He also praised the two mentors for sharing their experience with the students, and acknowledged the work of the organising committee.

Ing. Fiakegbe said the event had allowed members to rekindle friendships, build new memories and deepen their ties with one another.

He described the 20th anniversary as a base for bigger accomplishments and said the year group was already looking ahead to its Silver Jubilee in 2031.

He called on members to stay committed and united, and said he was hopeful the group would reach even greater milestones in future.

"Long live OMSU 2006. Long live Mawuli School," he said.
