This follows the Mayor's adoption of the Aboom School for Special Needs and the Cape Coast School for the Deaf and Blind with a profound assurance to seek to the needs and welfare of the schools and its students, having made a solemn promise to have an ultramodern school complex constructed for the Aboom School for Special Needs.

Accompanied by Reverend Ministers of the Kings and Queens Ministries and staffs of the Cape Coast Metropolitan Assembly, the Mayor donated items like rice, cups, erasers, dusters, markers, rulers, drinks, biscuits, water, pencils, books, pens, toilet rolls, and washing powders to the schools.

Hon. Justice Arthur in an interaction with the media, outlined having a soft spot for venerable persons all his life, considering the challenges they are exposed to on daily basis.

The Deputy Central Regional Director of Education and the Acting Head of the Cape Coast School for the Deaf and Blind, Ms. Harriet Idun-Sagoe, expressed delight towards the Mayor's donation and implored other generous individuals to come to the school's aid in its challenges on feeding, electricity bills, inadequate school facilities (classrooms, dinning hall, assembly hall, dormitories), desk inadequacy, among many others.
