A classroom for New Life Baptist Academy at Gbagbavuinu, a community near Battor in the North Tongu District of the Volta Region has collapsed during school hours, injuring 15 kindergarten pupils.
According to DailyGuide; “Torrential winds hit the school in the afternoon last week which led to the unfortunate incident. In all about 35 kindergarten kids- 17 boys and 18 girls-were said to be in the clay structure at the time of the disaster.
The collapsed mud structure, which serves almost 40 kindergarten pupils, was put up in 2014 by the Baptist Church to educate the children at Gbagbavuinu.”
After the collapse, the Founder of the school, Pastor Elias Mighty Ahumbley, told reporters “that the church established the school in the community to promote education, adding that hitherto children had to walk one-and-a-half kilometers to a nearby community to attend school.”
The pastor expressed gratitude to God that the devastating wind which school about 1pm was not accompanied by torrential rains.
Several teachers of the school and some community members came to the aid of the injured children after the collapse, by swiftly transporting the children across the river to the Catholic Hospital at Battor where they received medical attention and treatment.
