The Ursula Foundation has extended a helping hand to Labone Senior High School following a fire outbreak that devastated the girls’ dormitory, leaving dozens of students displaced and essential supplies destroyed.
In a heartwarming show of solidarity and support, the foundation, established by former Member of Parliament and Minister, Mrs. Ursula Owusu, donated a wide range of relief items to alleviate the immediate challenges faced by the school.
The donation included 100 pieces of 25kg bags of rice, 100 plastic chairs, 20 bags of mattresses, 50 bags of 50kg maize, 3 bags of 100kg gari, and 4 bags of 100kg beans.
The items were presented on behalf of the foundation by its leading members, William Adu, Faustina Kisse, and Rita Appiah, during a brief ceremony held on the school’s campus.
They were accompanied by members of the school’s 1982 year group alumni association, of which Mrs. Ursula Owusu is a proud member.
Presenting the items, Mr. William Adu conveyed the foundation’s heartfelt sympathies and reiterated its commitment to support the school.
“The foundation was devastated by the news of the fire and immediately resolved to extend help. This school helped shape our founder, and in times like this, we believe it is our responsibility to stand with the institution that played such a crucial role in her life,” Mr. Adu stated.
The donation was warmly received by the school’s headmistress, Madam Rejoice Acolor, who expressed immense gratitude on behalf of the management, staff, and students. She described the gesture as not only timely but deeply inspiring.
“This donation could not have come at a better time. We were struggling to reorganize resources after the incident, and this support brings hope, comfort, and a sense of renewal to the students who were most affected,” she said.
The president of the 1982 year group, Mr. Gabriel Annor, also commended the foundation and Mrs. Ursula Owusu for their generosity and strong sense of community. He encouraged other alumni and stakeholders to follow her example.
“This act of compassion speaks volumes about the values instilled in us here. As a year group, we are encouraged and will continue to explore ways to support the school during this difficult time,” he added.
The school community, still reeling from the aftermath of the fire, welcomed the donation with cheers and heartfelt appreciation, as students and teachers gathered to witness the presentation.
