An estimated GH¢ 1.1 billion police station project initiated by the Tema Rotary Club last year is to be completed this year to serve communities 6, 10 ,11 and 12 which are far away from any police station facility in Tema but are areas where criminal activities have been on the ascendancy in the metropolis.
The project, which forms part of the club’s service to communities is presently at the roofing level .
The newly-elected President of the Rotary Club, Mr John Bisiw, made this known during a fund-raising programme at Tema.
He also expressed the club’s commitment to equipping the youth to face future challenges in life by providing the Gbetsile Cluster of schools with a community library.There are about 700 pupils and students from the Kindergarten, primary up to the junior high school level.
Mr Bisiw urged members of the club to ensure that they held on to voluntarism and continued to strive for the survival of needy people and fight against malaria, hunger, Aids, ,illiteracy and other forms of deprivations.
The biggest project of the Tema Rotary Club is its book distribution which equips schools and other institutional libararies with books.
Mr Bisiw said under this project, which is aimed at equipping the youth with good knowledge to face future challenges, the club had distributed over US$45 million worth of books to various institutions.
He recounted that the club had in the past year provided a clinic for the Kpone community, a blood bank for the Tema General Hospital, a set of surgical instruments to the La General Hospital and constructed a fence for the Padmore School in Tema.
The outgoing President of the Tema Rotary Club, Mr Ben Richard Aniagyei, thanked members for their support and assistance offered him during his tenure of office.
He congratulated all companies, individuals and Rotarians whose contributions in cash and kind made it possible for the club to undertake its projects.
Mr Aniagyei later installed the new President into office and urged him to work harder and in close collaboration with his board members to achieve the club’s objectives.
Some Rotarians were presented with the Paul Harris Fellow awards for their contributions to support the club’s humanitarian projects including polio eradication.
The club organised raffle games and lucky dips to raise funds for its projects.
