THE Agbogbomefia of Asogli State, Togbe Afede XIV, has organised a Christmas party for 500 children drawn from the various divisions of the state.
The children, who were given soft drinks, food, biscuits, candies, and danced to music, came from Heve, Ahoe, Hliha, Bankoe, Kpenoe, Akoefe, Dome and Takla.
In an address, Togbe Afede urged them to take advantage of every opportunity that came their way in order to become productive citizens in the future.
He stressed the need for them to eschew laziness because that could make them waste time and retard their effort to excel in any endeavour and that the dream to succeed their forebears as future leaders will become elusive.
“ The future of Asogli, Volta and Ghana rest in your hands and, therefore, you must become productive by taking advantage of every opportunity that should come your way”, he emphasised.
The Agbogbomefia assured them that they were future leaders and that the chiefs would support them under the Asogli Education Trust Fund and stressed that each child should insist on their parents to take charge of their educational needs.
Earlier, a Divisional Chief of Ho-Heve, Togbe Kwasi Afele, said the Christmas party was in consonance with the Blibical saying that children should come to the Lord Jesus Christ without any hindrance.
He said children were treasures of the land and should, therefore, be given access to the throne to become familiar with the tenets of the kingdom.
Togbe Afele advised the children to take their lessons serious at school in order to win a scholarship from the Asogli State.
The Agbogbomefia presented a special prize to Miss Emmanuella Kley of Springs Preparatory Complex School for excelling in all the subjects during the school’s examination.
