Vivo Energy presents bursaries to pupils

Vivo Energy Ghana Limited has presented bursary awards to the winners of the Vivo Energy Bonanza School Challenge.

The teams that won first place in their classes were presented with a bursary of GH¢400, stationery and Daffodils Game Products, while those who won second place were presented with a bursary of GH¢300, stationery and Daffodils Game Products.

The competition, which was designed to promote the learning of mathematics among students through the Bonanza Card game, was organised by Daffodils Games and Publishing Limited in partnership with Vivo Energy Ghana which financed the bursaries.

Commenting on the sponsorship, Mrs Shirley Tony Kum, Corporate Communications Manager for Vivo Energy Ghana, said: “It was great to see how excited the pupils were during this pilot run of the Bonanza School Challenge. We plan to eventually roll it out to other basic schools to generate a new-found love for mathematics among pupils. We at Vivo Energy Ghana are extremely proud to have sponsored this.”

Elizabeth Chocho Kasim, the Headmistress of Mamprobi Sempe 5 – one of the prize-winning schools - shared how the games had benefited her pupils: “Those were the days when pupils ran away from class because the maths teacher would have a mental drill in the morning. The teachers have now adopted the game as morning ‘tea’ for the pupils who find it both fun and educative,” she said.
