THE Tema Meridian Rotary Club, has formally handed over the refurbished Community Two No 1 Day Care Centre to the Tema Metropolitan Assembly (TMA). The facility was renovated at the cost of GH¢7000.
Handing over the facility, the President of the club, Ms Regina Naana Essandoh, noted that the Rotary Club, as a service organisation, was committed to the creation of a conducive environment to enhance the general development of children to enable them to realise their dreams. It is for this reason that the club took a decision to adopt and renovate the structure.
She said the premises of the day care needed an extensive renovation, since no major renovation had taken place in its 49 years of existence. Ms Essandoh observed that Rotary International’s thematic declaration for the year 2009 is: “The focus on the most precious resource of every community — our children” — thus serving as a motivation for the Meridian Chapter to move in to save the children.
She maintained that the two Rotary clubs in Tema, had over the years executed a number of projects in Tema and its surrounding communities, mentioning an ambulance which was procured for the Prampram Health Centre, as well as organising eye screening and treatment for over 2000 patients drawn from the community. This, she said, attested to their commitment to the provision of humanitarian service, building high ethical standards in all vocations and helping build goodwill and peace in the world.
Mr Sevlo Agyei, an Assistant Director at the TMA, who represented the Metropolitan Chief Executive, expressed profound appreciation to the club and said it was gratifying that after several years of sourcing for funds for the reconstruction of the facility all to no avail, the club had graciously carried it out. Mr Agyei called on the centre supervisors to take good care of the facility.
The construction of a police post, which is currently on going at Community 11 in Tema is also being financed by the two Rotary clubs in the municipality.
Ms Essandoh also donated, a television set valued at GH¢250 to the school.
