The Chosen Generation Young Stars is an Organization made up young scholars and solicits fund to purchase teaching and learning materials for venerable students and pupils to assist them in their education.
Nana Quainoo said he came to Ghana last year and visited the said schools and their plight touched him; hence together with his colleagues in London, they solicited for funds to purchase the items to boost the morale of the pupils.
Mrs. Hilda Hagan, Effutu Municipal Director of Education, who received the Items, expressed her gratitude to the donors and appealed to other philanthropists and NGO’s to extend a helping hand to schools in the area to augment what government was offering to enhance teaching and learning in the country.
