Divine Rescue Hour donates uniforms to pupils of Kagu Primary School

Divine Rescue Hour, a benevolent entity the under auspices of Fruitful Life Chapel in Wa, has donated school uniforms to pupils of Kagu M/A Primary School in the Wa Municipality.

In all, 30 sets of uniforms were given to the children, 15 each for girls and boys.

Founder of the NGO, Reverend Mary Alidu Tie, who is also a teacher at the teacher, told Info Radio the donation was necessitated by the need to ensure that children attend school without many hindrances.

She observed that most of the school children come to school without uniforms and some in torn dresses which prompted her to take the step to address the problem.

She was optimistic that the uniforms would encourage children to come to school regularly as well as remove mockery among them, especially when one wears torn dresses.

Rev Alidu admonished parents and guardians to help take good care of the u uniforms to last longer while the children progress the academic grades.

Reverend Simon Tie, a co-founder of the Divine Rescue Hour, said the organization was borne out of the need to alleviate the suffering of the needy and the destitute, and especially to support children’s education.

He recalled that the NGO has made similar donations of teaching and learning materials to pupils at the school to support their learning.

He said the school has become dear to them, hence the donations from time to time.

The Head Teacher of the school, Mr Abubakari Mohammed Niga, who received the items on behalf of the school, thanked the Divine Rescue Hour for the kind gesture.

He said the gesture was timely to encourage attendance and increase retention among children in the school.

He also admonished parents and guardians to help protect the uniforms to last long enough to serve the intended purpose.

Mr Mohammed appealed to other benevolent entities and individuals to come to the aid of the children and for that matter the school, to promote and stimulate pupils' sustained interest in school.

The pupils of the school were full of laughter and praise for the kind gesture by the Divine Rescue Hour.
