F'town tycoon eager to adopt Ikhutseng P/School

A Francistown entrepreneur Geuncheo Chang, a South Korean national popularly known as ‘’Tau” has fallen in love with government’s ‘adopt a school’ initiative and is prepared to adopt Ikhutseng Primary School indefinitely.

Chang who arrived in Botswana 18 years ago owns Korean Auto Service and Clear view Glass in Francistown city. “When I inquired from one of my friends who happens to be a Member of Parliament(MP) Buti Billy, he told me that he has an initiative for local business people to adopt any school in his constituency as one way of promoting the government initiative.

I did not waste time as I adopted Ikhutseng Primary School since the past year and I have since fallen in love with it that I am prepared to adopt the school indefinitely. I have been given two years to adopt the school and I now assist in all their areas of need. Currently I donate P3000 per month to the school and other organisations including soccer clubs and churches,” he confided in us.

Tau informed this publication that upon adopting the school, he donated P3000 towards the Standard seven graduation party as well as fitting an air-condition system in the headmaster’s office which initially did not have one. He said that he was touched as he believed that a headmaster’s office should be all-round weather compliant.Francistown East MP Billy admitted that he has made it a point that all seven primary schools in his constituency are adopted by various companies and individuals.
