Hariom International students educate neighbours on re-denomination

Saltpond (C/R), June 29, GNA - Students of the Hariom International School, a private institution at Saltpond, have embarked on an education campaign on the re-denomination of the cedi, as a social responsibility to its surrounding communities.

The exercise, which begins on July 3, took the Junior Secondary School final year students to Anokye, Kuntu, Afrangua, Kanka Bonmu and Eguatsia Bonmu.Speaking to the Ghana News Agency at Anokye near the Mfantseman Girls Secondary School, Mr J H Ewudzie Annan, proprietor of the school said he endorsed the decision of the students to take time off their studies to educate their close neighbours on the exercise, because they had realised that the messages on the re-denomination had not got down well with the people.

"It is our social responsibility and moral obligation to help our close neighbours to overcome their difficulties", he said.Miss Beatrice Kusi-Kyere, Miss Benedicta Bansah and Master Razak Nunoo, all final year JSS students, took turns to educate the people on the re-denomination with support from Mr John Edumadze Graham, Headmaster, who also answered some questions posed by members of the public.Nana Asemani IV, chief of Anokye, commended the students for the gesture and expressed satisfaction about their decision to share their knowledge on the re-denomination of the cedi with their neighbours.
