A team of students from the National Black Law Association, USA, have donated to the victims of the Akosombo dam spillage with some cash.
The coming of the students was a result of a partnership foundation laid by a former SRC President of the Ghana School of Law, Mr. Wonder Victor Kutor, between the NBLA and GSL SRC.
Under Mr.Kutor’s leadership, the SRC of the Ghana School of Law initiated a bilateral relationship with the National Black Law Association (NBLA) in the USA, culminating in a visit to Texas in April 2021.
During this visit, one of the lecturers at the Ghana School of Law, William Kpobbi, who is now a retired Chief State Attorney, spoke at a public lecture organised by the NBLA in Texas.
Mr.Odupong Agyapong Atta-Agyapong, President of the SRC for the 2022-2023 academic year, further extended this already established relationship with the new NBLA chair to fortify the connection between the SRC of the GSL and the NBLA.
Mr. Atta-Agyapong, who had ended his tenure, passed on the torch to Ms.Getrude Emefah Donkor, the current SRC president, who seamlessly continued fostering this partnership.
Ms. Donkor, as the current President of the SRC, therefore oversaw a significant contribution from the NBLA with the cedi equivalence of over Gh10,000 to flood victims in the Volta region.
In a New Year message to the students of the Ghana School of Law, the current SRC President, Ms.Getrude Emefah Donkor, acknowledged the donation by the National Black Law Association students of the US.
“It was a collaborative effort with the National Black Law Association students to donate to the displaced flood victims at Mepe,” she noted.
“What we did was in the spirit of volunteerism and community service, and this is who we are,” she stressed.
Aside from the donation, the NBLA team, before their departure, paid a courtesy call to the Director of Legal Education at the Ghana School of Law, Lawyer Yaw Oppong, to acknowledge his commendable leadership and governance in legal education in Ghana.
