A visually impaired Senior State Attorney has braced all odds to build a 12- unit classroom block for the people of Kasoa-Domeabra in the Central region.
Evelyn Appiah, 51, a teacher said on Adom FM’s morning show ‘Dwaso Nsem’, Wednesday that the gesture was to give back to the community.
The native of Larteh said she took loans to build the school which is at the ground floor.
Speaking of her challenges, she said a borehole she constructed in the school has been destroyed whilst a Polytank that serves as water for the school has been stolen.

“I am a teacher by profession and instead of just sitting idle, I decided to build a school which is not in my community but in Kasoa. I chose that project because I am a teacher by profession and won’t allow my talent to go waste,” she said.
She added that she trusts managers of the school which is currently at the primary level.
