"We believe it's our duty to help build the future of our generation," she stated. "Investing in education is one of the most effective ways to contribute to community development."

Mr. Ibrahim Osman, Circuit Supervisor, received the donation on behalf of the Wassa East District Education Director and expressed heartfelt gratitude to Epiroc and Golden Star Wassa Mines for their continued support.

Mr. Osman noted that the donation was particularly timely, coming at the start of a new academic term when many parents face challenges in providing learning materials for their children. He urged teachers and parents to ensure the donated items are used responsibly and appealed to Epiroc and other corporate organizations to continue supporting education in the district.
