The attendance was. Past and current students 29, the Board members 8, and others 23 making a total of 60. Everything was fine and we had a sweet fellowship. Both the current and the past students were happy and greatly edified.
A call to work: The Church in Tatale has invited the school to come over and help them establish a Church in a village called Kukpalgu nearer to Zabzugu. The school would need to provide P.A. System and men to preach.
Visitation: The news of one board members of the school came into our attention. He is Fuseini Musa at Yendi. He has been sick for several months and paid much money for his medical bill. The school visited him and gave him GH₵ 500.00 to help put some meal on his table.
The following are the project works that are currently going on. The work and the cost of work are as follow:
1 Tiling the students bath=3500
2 Repairing the gate2=140
3 The doors of the vehicle were locked and the fitter advised that we buy new ones but we repaired them at the cost of 60 Ghana cedis.
4 Also the students ID cards are being worked on and soon they will be ready.
While removing the tiles from the motor king, a box of tiles fell on George’s foot and completely cut off the big toe and it was put back in the Teaching Hospital and the cost is 273 Ghana cedis. However he is still going through the treatment which needs money. He also demanded for the renewal of Health Insurance which is not in the budget. Please let me know if it is the responsibility of the school to do it so that I can do it immediately for him.
Your brother,
Alex Jabado
