The donation, which included 50 bags of cement, bags of sugar, maize, gari and other assorted products, was in commemoration of the founder’s birthday to be marked on August 23, this year.
Apostle Safo also gave each of the teachers and management of the institution a wax print and cash for their commitment at improving the welfare of the children.
The donation was made on his behalf by one of his daughters, Ms Sika Safo.
A sod was also cut for the construction of a dining hall for MTC, which currently has a population of 60 children, the majority of whom are between the ages of 10 and 15.
Children excited
It was a day of joy and great excitement for the children when the leadership of the Kristo Asafo Mission, headed by Ms Safo, visited the institution.
Each of the children was also given a package of food, drinks and souvenirs.
Presenting the items, Ms Safo said the gesture formed part of the annual programme to celebrate her father’s birthday.
According to her, Apostle Safo , over the past years, had celebrated his birthday with the less privileged and also used the occasion to assist needy institutions.
Touching on why Apostle Safo chose the MTC, Ms Safo said the he discovered the predicament of the children in a recent documentary shown on Utv, adding that “since that day, he had resolved to do something about the children’s condition.’’
MTC grateful
The Founder of MTC, Mr Joseph Jehu-Appiah, commended Apostle Safo for the support and love he had shown the children.
He said since the centre was established 10 years ago, the management continued to serve the needs of the children despite the numerous challenges it faced.
Mr Jehu-Appiah, therefore, called on other agencies to come to the aid of the centre to enable it to support the children.
