Agona Swedru, March 27, GNA- The Ghana Commercial Bank (GCB), has presented a cheque for 2,000 Ghana Cedis, to the Swedru Senior High School, towards its 50th anniversary celebration. Mr. Divine Bonnie, Agona Swedru Branch Manager of GCB and Mr. Daniel Addo, the Deputy Manager, presented the cheque to the school authorities.

Mr. Bonnie said the donation formed part of the corporate responsibility of the bank, to support customers and corporate institutions within its operational area.

Mr. Bonnie called on financial institutions and other companies operating in the Agona Swedru Municipality to support educational institutions in the area.

The Headmaster of the School, Mr. E K T Osam praised the bank for the kind gesture, which he said would reduce the anniversary expenditure.
