TESCON TACE Chapter Donate Sachet Water to Support DASA’s Bugum Festival Celebration
In a display of camaraderie and support, the Tamale College of Education chapter of the Tertiary Students’ Confederacy Of The New Patriotic Party (TESCON) has extended a helping hand to the Tamale College of Education branch of the Dagomba Students Association (DASA). The generous donation of 15 bags of sachet water was made to assist DASA in their upcoming Bugum week celebration, fostering a stronger bond between the two student groups.
The Bugum Festival, also known as Buɣim Chuɣu, holds a significant place in Dagomba culture as the first festival of the year. Celebrated on the ninth day of the first month in the Dagomba lunar calendar, the festival commemorates the “loss of a chief’s son” from ancient times. It serves as an occasion for reflection, cultural displays, and communal solidarity among the Dagomba people.
On Friday, July 21, 2023, the President of TESCON, Abdul Samed Yussif, spearheaded the initiative by donating 15 bags of sachet water to DASA on the College campus. This thoughtful contribution comes as a means of supporting DASA during their Bugum week celebration, acknowledging the festival’s cultural significance and the need for adequate resources during the festive period.
Beyond the celebration of culture, the donation also aims to reinforce the relationship between TESCON and DASA. Both student groups play essential roles in promoting education and fostering social cohesion among students. By standing together in support of DASA’s Bugum week, TESCON emphasizes the importance of unity and collaboration among different student bodies.

The events include a health walk, lectures, entertainment, a football match, a quiz competition, and clean-up exercises, culminating in a grand durbar day on Thursday, July 27, 2023.
By providing the much-needed sachet water for the celebration, TESCON TACE chapter has not only shown support for DASA’s cultural festivities but also demonstrated their commitment to the welfare and success of their fellow students.
