Society contributes towards community centre(20/03/09)

THE Mpraesoman Kuo in Accra and Tema has launched an appeal for funds for the construction of a GH¢300,000 ultra modern community complex for the community.
The project, which would include such facilities as a hotel, library, clinic and a gym, would also serve as the venue for observing funerals in the community.
Speaking at a fundraising ceremony in Accra over the weekend, the Mpraesohene, Nana Ampadu Daaduam II, said the construction of a complex for the conduct of social and other activities at Mpraeso was long over due.
He, therefore, expressed appreciation to the Mpraesoman Kuo for taking it upon themselves to construct such a facility.
Nana Ampadu Daaduam II, said despite its high cost, the project when completed would be a monumental legacy befitting the status of Mpraeso.
He called on all citizens of Mpraeso to contribute to the early completion of the project since no contribution was small.
The Chairman of the Mpraesoman Kuo, Mr S. K. B. Omari outlined some achievements of the society such as the establishment of an investment fund to offer financial support to members, the organisation of monthly health walks and health screening as well as the acquisition of land for the construction of the community complex and funeral ground.
He said the society had a herculean task of raising funds to finance the project and therefore appealed to friends, well wishers and benevolent organisations for sponsorship.
The Head of the Mpraeso community in Accra and Tema, Nana Owoahene Akyeampong II, called on all citizens of Mpraeso to help rekindle Mpraeso’s glorious legendary past as the residential town of the District Commissioner of Kwahu (DC-Krom).
“It is my hope that in the near future, we shall raise the dignity of Mpraeso as we open up new vistas to our ambition, so that we can anticipate a great future for the community,” he said.
