We have requested all year groups to contribute Ghc15,000.00 each to ensure the successful execution of this project. The 79 Year Group has pledged Ghc30,000.00, MOBA72, 73 & 81 have each pledged to pay their Ghc15K. Our colleagues in the USA have also pledged to date $10K. To all outstanding Year Groups, I respectfully request that you confirm your commitment to this noble cause as soon as it is possible” he said.

“We are also working with Tullow oil on the refurbishment of the Science lab and hope to have it completed by next year’s founder’s day. The Tullow sponsorship is anchored on a promise that Old Boys will make a provision of at least $20,000.00 each year for the maintenance of the Science Lab,” he stated.
