Larteh-Akuapem (E/R), April 18, GNA - Members of the Larteh Association of the United Kingdom, on Sunday donated 11 computers and printers for use by school children in Larteh-Akuapem in the Eastern Region.

The equipment would be mounted at the computer library of Larteh Presbyterian Junior High School. Mr Alfred K. Gyebi, immediate past president of the Association, presented the items on behalf of members at Larteh-Akuapem.

Osabarima Asiedu Okoo-Ababio III, chief of Larteh and Akuapem Guanmanhene, received the items on behalf of the children. He urged the children to acquire skills in ICT. He called on the youth of Larteh to take advantage of financial support from the Agricultural Development Bank and enter into agriculture ventures such as snail rearing, beekeeping and grass-cutter rearing to help to raise their incomes and economic standards.

He urged the Elders of the town to facilitate the acquisition of land by the youth for such projects. Osabarima Okoo-Ababio appealed to assembly members in the area to contact the traditional authorities whenever they wanted land for development projects.
