GOLDEN STAR MINES DEWORM 1,000 PUPILS (PAGE 55)

Golden Star (Wassa Mine) Limited, a mining company in the Mpohor Wassa East District of the Western Region, has organised a programme to deworm 1,000 school pupils from communities in its catchment area.
The company has also organised a clean-up and tree planting exercises in the communities.
The communities are Akyempim, Nsadweso, Old Subri and Kubekro.
The activities formed part of the 80th anniversary celebration of the Ghana Chamber of Mines.
Speaking during the deworming exercise, the Mining Manager of Golden Star, Mr Henry Andoh, said the company could have celebrated the occasion in the mines but had to extend it to members of the communities as a result of the cordial relationship between them.
He said the company had initiated the deworming exercise and that the pupils and the teachers should send the message to the parents to deworm their children every three months.
