School children in a group photograph with MP, Dr. Kwainoe
A group of passionate pupils have visited their Member of Parliament at
the Parliament House in Accra. The Otuam International School (OTIS), as part
of their study of parliamentary democracy and to gain practical insight into
how Ghana’s legislative arm operates, paid a visit to their MP, Hon. Dr.
Othniel Ekow Kwainoe.
The private basic school is located in Ekumfi
Otuam, the hometown of Ghana’s late former President, Professor John Evans
Fiifi Atta-Mills. It was a moment of great excitement for the young learners
and their teachers as they interacted with the MP. Though not their first visit
to Parliament, their enthusiasm and eagerness to meet Dr. Kwainoe were evident.
Hon. Dr. Kwainoe encouraged them to take their
studies seriously so that they might grow into responsible and impactful
citizens. “I’m confident this experience will inspire them to aim higher and
contribute meaningfully to our beloved nation,” he said.
He further urged them to keep in touch with
his office for any educational assistance they may require and expressed his
appreciation to the teachers for choosing such an experiential approach to learning.
