The A-list actor was given a tour and, briefing by the Principal on the immediate needs of the School. He pledged the donation of 5 (Five) Classroom buildings estimated at $40,000 USD. Mr.Dumelo’s Charity, The Amara Foundation will Finance and Build the project.



At the Ground breaking ceremony, Mr.Dumelo stated that the initiative was the first of many to come. He remarked that his choice for Baayire was because he identified the community as being one of the most deprived Villages in the Upper West Region of Ghana.  "I stand for quality Education. “ He said. "I would not have made it this far without the Education I received and, I believe that all children deserve an opportunity to maximize their full potential" He added.

In response, the Principal, on behalf of the entire staff thanked the Actor for his kind gesture towards the School and community. He remarked that the occasion was the first of its kind and assured that the Children would be provided with quality education.

Each year, The Amara Foundation will choose a village out of the Ten Regions in Ghana and, determine ways to improve their Educational infrastructure.

People tend to judge others by how they are dressed, probably because clothing is another aspect of self expression. In truth, the way one's dressed does not always reflect who one really is.
