… an office. The local radio station announced that the new school replaced a worn down building in the Asuogyaman District.
Ghana radio outlet StarrFM Online reports the school replaced a battered building in the rural area of the Asuogyaman district. Previously, children were subjected to attend school in sheds and would be sent home on rainy days. It also caused farmers to refrain from sending their children to school. Speaking to the outlet, Lil Jon expressed his content in its completion and how the school was also made in honor of his late mother, Carrie Smith-Williams.
“This is the first project we’ve done together of this kind and it is amazing to see the community come out to support [it],” Lil Jon said. “I just feel like I’m lost for words of how amazing it feels to give the community something like this school. I dedicated it to the Abomayaw community and to my mother. God is good!”
The new school has already admitted 75 of the 200 girls living in the community and anticipation is on the road rise to admit many more.
“If you can provide appropriate environment for education it can make learning very easy for them,” he added. “I’m glad I can help facilitate that for these kids looking at where they came from (open basically sheds outside). You can imagine the heat and the obstruction. Now they have a well building if it rains.”
