Another OMSU-NA Congress is here with us, and we are all excited to converge in beautiful Chicago, Illinois to once again deliberate on, discuss, and toast our very dear Mawuli School. It is important to note with excitement and exhilaration that this congress comes right after the iconic 75th Anniversary celebrations of Mawuli School.
I proudly stand on behalf of the OMSU-NA Executive Council and Board of Directors to wish everybody very fruitful deliberations at the Congress. We also thank all those who through honoring their membership obligations — by paying dues, donations, and levies — and sympathizers who through their generous donations have supported the on-going programs and projects of OMSU-NA at Mawuli School.
We salute all other OMSU branches and year groups throughout the world that are engaged on programs and efforts of repositioning Mawuli School towards its centenary in some number of years to come. We congratulate all Mawulians and sympathizers and their families who have achieved important milestones in their careers and other endeavors.
All those who have had to deal with illnesses or some sort of distress in the family are in our thoughts and prayers. Thoughts of all our colleagues, mates, friends, family members, and others who have departed from our midst would remain in our loving and fond memories.
After the 75th anniversary celebration, OMSU-NA resolves to keep marching full steam ahead in restoring Mawuli School academically and aesthetically in association with all our compatriots. It is our determination to help, in diverse and decisive ways, in solving the problems of Mawuli School through membership dues and donations.
We must report that we recently donated funds to support training of the Mawuli School National Math and Science Quiz competition team. We teamed up with the Class of 1990 to recently renovate Corridor 3 in preparation for the 75th anniversary celebrations. Also, in preparation for the 75th anniversary, we revamped the driving space between the old dining hall and old administration block, and painted the old dining hall in the school colors.
Very recently, we donated funds to support the Tutoring Program for Final Years preparing for the forthcoming WASSCE examinations. We're currently in discussions with Headmaster Mr. Benjamin Dei to replace all the non-functioning computers and accessories in the OMSU-NA funded and built computer lab.
"The only group of people that the school can count on in its time of need and distress are its alumni and sympathizers. It is time for CONCRETE POSITIVE ACTION."
Taking stock since year 2002 when our organization was reorganized, OMSU-NA has invested close to $420,000 in the school over these past twenty-four years. OMSU-NA will celebrate its 25th Anniversary of reorganization in year 2027 — let us use this year to gear up for that important milestone.
Let us all join together very resolutely in MARCHING FORWARD WITH PURPOSE IN THE INTEREST OF MAWULI SCHOOL AND OMSU!
