Hon. Lawrence Kwabena Agyinsam, the hardworking Member of Parliament for Twifo Hemang Lower Denkyira Constituency, has once again demonstrated his strong commitment to education and youth empowerment. The MP presented 116 trunks, chop boxes, and mattresses to brilliant Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) candidates within the district.

He further assured parents and teachers that his office will continue to partner with educational institutions to provide learning materials, scholarships, and mentorship programs that nurture academic excellence.

The District Education Director, Miss Lucy Jecinta Afia Nkansah, who graced the event, expressed her profound gratitude to the MP for his relentless efforts in promoting quality education. She noted that such support reduces the financial pressure on parents and motivates students to aim higher.
Miss Nkansah, however, used the opportunity to caution students to take their studies seriously as they progress to the next level. She also expressed concern about the rising cases of teenage pregnancy in the district and urged the students, especially the girls, to remain focused on their education and avoid distractions.
The beneficiaries, who were visibly excited, expressed their heartfelt gratitude to the Honourable Member of Parliament for his timely intervention and continuous support. Many of the students shared that the donation had lifted a huge burden off their parents as they prepared to enroll in various Senior High Schools across the country.
