Pastor Boateng-Sarpong noted that such acts demonstrate the genuine essence of education as a powerful tool for bringing change in society.
- Representing the ISA, Professor Elsie Effah Kauffman shared her personal journey, emphasising the critical role scholarships played in her education. She also expressed the institution’s unwavering commitment to providing deserving students with opportunities to pursue their dreams.
Professor Kauffman acknowledged the invaluable support provided by the Lordina Foundation in championing similar causes, making their collaboration a natural progression towards a shared vision of empowerment through education.
The partnership offers a pathway to realise the full potential of bright yet disadvantaged youth, giving them a chance to contribute meaningfully to society.
