THE Huston Christian High School has funded a borehole for the Joma Methodist Primary School in the Ga South Municipality in the Greater Accra Region at a cost of GH¢ 16,500 to provide water for the school.
The school, which is the only public school in the area with a population of 250, has been confronted with inadequate access to potable water for the past years which resulted in a number of students being diagnosed with bilharzia.
The project was, therefore, aimed at making the school’s dream of having potable water a reality.
Mr Michael Adams Maddry, leader of the delegation from the Houston Christian School, which was in the country to see to the commissioning of the borehole, said a team from the school visited Joma Primary last year and saw the need to support it.
He said students between grade nine and 12 of the school, which is based in Texas, United States of America, donated towards a fund to drill a well for the pupils of Joma.
Mr Maddry said it was the vision and desire of the school to help those in need and more importantly to get the chance to share the gospel of Christ with everybody.
“ We also desire to establish partnerships on every continent of the world to help spread the gospel of Christ.”
The team distributed kits on hygiene to the pupils of the school.
Other members of the team were Drew Zeiler, Stephen Hebert, Casey Bourland, Kelsey Simmons, Katie Jackson, Sam Von Cannon, Lauren Thomas and Dale Wallace.
The Acting Bishop for the Ga Mission Circuit of the Methodist Church, Rev Richard Ako-Adjei thanked the delegation for its generosity.
He said the drilling of the borehole came as a surprise and a relief to the church and the school’s authorities since the school had faced a number of challenges in the past.
He thanked American Tanks and Vessels for the initial support of building a six-classroom block, a teachers’ common room, a computer laboratory for the school and linking the school to the Huston Christian High School.
