Out with the Chalk, In with the Markers! Osramanae JHS Gets a Classroom Makeover





Something exciting just happened at Osramanae M/A Junior High School — and trust Jakpa Gossips to bring you the scoop first!


Thanks to the energetic team of Lead For Ghana Fellows at the school, three old, dusty blackboards have officially been kicked out and replaced with sleek, modern Formica markerboards. Yes, Osramanae classrooms just got a glow-up!



Teachers had been dealing with all sorts of stress — from eye infections caused by chalk dust to constantly ruined outfits. The old blackboards weren’t just outdated; they were affecting health and making teaching harder than it needed to be.



Fast forward to 2024, the Fellows at Osramanae JHS saw the need for change and got straight to work. They launched a fundraising campaign to ditch the chalk and bring in the whiteboards — and guess what? The community showed up!


A special shoutout goes to Shiloh’s Hotel in Kete Krachi for being one of the key supporters. Thanks to their generosity (and others too), the new boards were bought and officially presented to the school on June 10th. The smiles that day? Priceless.



This isn’t just about looking fancy. With the new markerboards, teaching becomes easier, cleaner, and safer. No more chalk dust flying around. Teachers can now focus on what they do best — teaching — without worrying about their health or their clothes.



The Lead For Ghana team at Osramanae JHS deserves major props for making this happen. And of course, the donors, school authorities, and community members who supported the vision — you’re the real MVPs.


From what we’ve seen, this is just the beginning. If these Fellows can pull this off, who knows what next they’ll do? One thing’s for sure — the future of education in Osramanae is looking bright (and very whiteboard-friendly!).





Stay tuned to Jakpa Gossips Blog for more good news straight from the grassroots. Because development matters too!

NPP Damongo Mourns Hon. Winifred Mbemah: A Pillar of Loyalty and Service

Image
  The New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Damongo Constituency is mourning the painful loss of one of its most dedicated and long-serving leaders, Hon. Winifred Mbemah. His death, after a period of illness, has left a deep void in the hearts of party faithful and the wider Damongo community. In a heartfelt press release signed by the Damongo Constituency Assistant Secretary, Mr. Ndodu John, the party described Hon. Mbemah as “one of our long-standing and dedicated leaders.” He served as the fifth constituency chairman of the NPP in Damongo from 2012 to 2017 and was also a respected assemblyman for the Hangaline/Ngberipe electoral area for an impressive ten years. These two key roles positioned him as a grassroots mobilizer, community advocate, and loyal steward of the party’s vision. His commitment to the NPP dates back decades. “Hon. Mbemah was a key figure in the NPP since the era of Adu Boahen and remained committed to the party until his sudden illness,” the statement said. Eve...

S/R: DABOYA UNDER SIEGE; DARKNESS DESCENDS DUE TO LEADERSHIP FAILURE

Image
  The people of Daboya are suffering through prolonged electricity outages, plunging our once thriving community into darkness. It's disheartening to see our government and leaders seemingly indifferent to this crisis. We recall the past 8 years of stability under NPP rule, where Daboya enjoyed uninterrupted electricity. The previous administration extended electricity to over 30 communities in North Gonja District, including townships extension in Daboya and Linguishe, were commendable. However, in less than 4 months of this new government's tenure, Daboya has lost its reliable electricity supply. Local businesses are struggling, the Coldstore is non-operational, and residents live in fear after dark. Our DCE appears more focused on visiting photo studios for shots than effective action, while our MP seems overwhelmed, ignoring the people's plea. The people of Daboya/Mankarigu deserve better representation and service from their leaders. We urge the government to address t...
