The initiative by the Ajumako Ochisoman Development Association forms part of activities to mark the Christmas festivities.

The seed money would be used to commence the construction of an ultra-modern one-story 10-Unit Class Room Block with ancillary facilities for the Ochiso Methodist Basic School which was formerly called the amalgamated Middle School.

The Association again plans to build a modern community durbar ground for social gatherings, provide street lights, and construct some town roads.

According to the people, the initiative is their way of giving back to the school and the town.

Christmas is not only for merrymaking but also an occasion where families and community members get together to take stock of their welfare and progress as well as the development of their Communities.

For the people of Ajumako Ochiso, it was a period of raising funds for the construction of a basic school to replace the old dilapidated Methodist School which had existed for about hundred years.

Almost all the people of Ajumako Ochiso, and many from adjoining Communities benefited from the classrooms.

The school is currently the BECE centre not only for Ajumako Ochiso but also for other nearby communities.

Unfortunately, following its current dilapidated nature, there have been threats to relocate the Centre from Ochiso.
