In a quest to be impactful, Benemef Foundation in collaboration with DrWanda, Education Specialist to provided at-least 15 musical Instruments that ranged in variety from the violin to the steel drum to Peki Adzokoe R.C. Primary School. The musical gift included over 150 brand new musical text books along with the teachers manuals and the supporting CD.
This will surely allow for greater acquisition of musical instruction. The goal is empower the youth to be able to read, to write and to play music which provides the greatest impact and carries on the legacy of music established by the late Dr Ephraim Emu.
Their partnership demonstrates a unique effort to support the development of talent and recreation among the young people. An effort that will not only strengthen Peki’s music program, but can lead to even greater musical outreach in the district...As Benjamin Opare the CEO of the Benemef Foundation noted “To date, there is no school basic or private school in the South Dayi District to inherit such rich variety music material.”
According to DrWanda who spearheaded the effort, these instruments are just a tip of the iceberg. It is her hope to invite guest musicians to volunteer to teach and play for and with the students...This is one of many efforts the philanthropist duo have in store to promote education especially in the rural communities where schooling has been less encouraged in times past.
Philanthropists and well wishers are invited to support this project by donating gently used or new instruments or through cash or in-kind donations which Benemef Foundation will use to establish a music scholarship to help a deserving youth further pursue their musical interest at the college level and/or career opportunities in music.
