Lordina Foundation donates to children’s homes

The Lordina Foundation has donated various food items and other products to some children’s homes in the Northern and Brong Ahafo regions, as part of its support for the needy and vulnerable in society.

The homes included Frank May Children’s Home and Bethesda Children’s Home both in Techiman, and the Let Kids Smile Children’s Home in Nkoranza, as well as the Tamale Children’s Home and Anfaani Children’s Home, both in Tamale.

The President of the foundation and the First Lady, Mrs Lordina Mahama, presented the items that included motorbikes, baby cots, sandals, shoes, dresses, toys and food items.

She explained that the donation was made possible through the partnerships with Medshare USA and other partners who had assisted the foundation over the years to bring solace to the needy in Ghana.

Kind gesture

At Frank May, Mrs Mary Apus and her Husband, Mr Frank Apus, who received the items on behalf of the inmates, were full of praises for the First Lady in recognition of her gesture and her custom of making it an annual event to give to the home long before she even became the First Lady.

The Manager of the Bethesada Children’s Home, Pastor Gilbert Ayaric, and the Founder, Pastor Stephen Volante, both thanked Mrs Mahama “for once again remembering the children and being a blessing unto them”.

At the Let Kids Smile Children’s Home, located at new Zongo in Nkronza, the Director of the Home, Mr Christian Ankamah Gyan, said: “We are grateful to the First Lady who has been assisting the home, starting five years ago, when she was then the Second Lady”.

Responsible adults

Master Emmanuel Ofori Aryee, an inmate who doubles as the Chaplin of the Home, gave an assurance to the First Lady that they would learn hard to become responsible adults in future in appreciation of her kindness towards the inmates.

In a related development, the Home Supervisor of the Tamale Children’s Home, Ms Augustina Quainoo, said: “The First Lady is doing a yeoman’s job. Her support has been consistent and she is helping build a dormitory block for the children here”.

At the Afaani Children’s Home, the Home Manager, Ms Joyce Bacho, and the Administrative Manager, Mr Mohammed Abdul Razak, who received the items for the children, also commended Mrs Mahama for the special attention and care she had been giving to the children at the Home.
