The Vice President, who donated various items to the school including a fat cow, said it was no fault of the children to have found themselves visually impaired and therefore society should not neglect them but rather they should be shown care for and attention.

Dr. Bawumia pledged support to the school and promised government’s readiness to assist them with improved educational infrastructure and other facilities to boost their academic performance.     

On her part, Headmistress of the school, Madam Mahale Narh thanked his H.E.  Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia and his entourage for the kind gestures showed them and urged other philanthropists to emulate the vice president’s move.
