Rainstorm displaces kindergarten kids at Dededo

Dededo (V/R), April 07, GNA- A total of 142 kindergarten kids have been displaced at the Dededo Local Authority (L.A) Primary School in the Ho Municipal area following a rainstorm last Sunday. The rainstorm, which lasted for about 30 minutes, brought the dilapidated kindergarten classroom block tumbling down. Mr Hope Anagbonu, the Assemblyman for Dededo, has appealed to the Ho Municipal Assembly and the Ghana Education Service to provide a new classroom for the pupils who now attend classes under trees. He said some parents were said to have withdrawn their kids from school and were taking them to the farm and to the market. "Where the children are now, under a tree is not safe and some of them get distracted by things happening around," Mr Anagbonu said. Togbe Azadagli Dededo I, Chief of the community, appealed to the Member of Parliament for the area and the Municipal Assembly to help re-construct the Dededo market with a lorry park. He said the community needed additional boreholes to augment the existing two which serve the community of 5,000 people.
