Madam Mariam Baiden, Headteacher of Komenda JSS 'B' who received the items thanked Mr Cudjoe for his gesture and assured him that the items would be used to promote sports in the school.

Mr Amos Cudjoe, Headteacher of the Komenda Primary 'A' and 'B' schools also commended Mr Cudjoe and urged other old students to emulate his example to assist the school's with the needed equipment necessary for academic and other services.
