The National Coordinator for the Ghana School Feeding Coordinator, Hajia Fati Forgor has praised a resident of Gorogo in the Talensi district for building a kitchen for the primary school in the community.
Hajia Fati who visited the Gorogo Primary school as part of her unannounced visits to across the country, was impressed with the support for the program by the resident whose name was given as Thomas Tindan.
She encouraged other citizens and organizations to support the program succeed. “I am impressed with what this resident, Thomas Tindan has done for the children. I have seen the old kitchen and this new one he has built which will go a long way to support in cooking the meals under hygienic conditions for our children”, she said.
According to her such support for the program is required to make it sustainable.
Touching on the quality of food prepared for the children, Hajia Fati indicated her satisfaction with how the caterer has handled herself and the type of food prepared for tej children.
“I love the way the caterer is handling herself. I saw her in here apron and she is cooking Bambara beans for the children. This is what we want, we must eat what we grow”, she stressed.
Reason for unannounced visits
Explaining the rationale for her unannounced visits to the schools, Hajia Fati Forgor said, the exercise helps the Secretariat get first hand information on how the program is being run across the country.
“So far I have visited 13 regions and these visits have helped me assess the effectiveness of the program. I can’t rely solely on the reports from my coordinators. For instance, if I tell them I am coming, they can hide some of the challenges so I won’t get the full picture of what is happening”, she revealed.
