A police chief with the Motor
Transport and Traffic Unit (MTTU) of the Ghana Police Service, Deputy
Superintendent of Police(DSP) Bismark Addae,
has advised pupil from the
deprive communities in the country to
shun activities that would hinder their education.
According to him, education is the only tool which
children from deprived areas in country could use to narrow the gap between them
and their urban counterparts.
He said, children from deprive areas have an enormous responsibility
to catch up with their counterparts in the cities and the only way
they could succeed is to remain disciplined, law abiding and focus by sticking to their books.
DSP Addae made these observations
during an interview with The Enquirer in his office in Accra;
after he had donated some assorted books, boxes of pens and pencils, to pupil
of Sefwi-Bosomoiso Junior High School (JHS) in the Sefwiaso District in the
Western Region.
The donation, he said, was his own resources
and decided to do it after
realizing the plight of the pupil of the school.
He noted that the donation does not only forms
part of his social responsibility of giving back to the society, but also to his alma mater, having recognize
the need to support the poor but needy pupil in the district.
“I believed it is only education that can make
someone to contribute to the development of this country, through education,
someone like me has got the privilege and the insightful to raps shoulders
with people that I could not have had, and no child in this country can be an
exception,” he said.
He therefore called on parents,
especially those from the deprive areas in the country to take up their wards education
seriously since it is the best investment that they can bequeath to them.
For him, education has the capacity
of breaking the shackles of poverty, which he noted was the highest impediment tool
that keeps thwarting the future of pupil from deprived communities.
He reiterated his total commitment
to the development of education in the school and assured that he would extend
similar packages to other deprived schools in the area whenever there is an
opportunity.
