The Sankofa Gold Mines at Prestea in the Western Region has presented 100 bags of cement to support the construction of a multi-purpose community centre complex at Bekwai.
The donation followed an appeal by Nana Karikari Appau II, Omanhene of the Bekwai Traditional Area, on behalf of the Bekwaiman Development Committee.
The Omanhene, on behalf of the Traditional Council and the Committee, expressed his appreciation to the management of Sankofa Gold for the kind donation and support, and hoped other corporate bodies and individuals would continue to offer assistance for the completion of the project.
The project, initiated by the Bekwaiman Development Committee in April 2011, is estimated to cost GH¢400,000.
Under the project, a four-acre plot of land released by the Omanhene is to be converted into a modern community facility for various activities, including meetings, funerals, political rallies, religious crusades and sporting activities.
The project would also have a library, offices, and conference hall.
