She added that the group will make similar donations to other regions, noting that there were lovers of Kojo Antwi all across Ghana.
“We will frequently organise other activities such as health screening exercises for communities across the country, because we have lovers of Kojo Antwi across the country,” she added.
Appreciation
The founder of the orphanage, Reverend John Azumah, who received the items, expressed gratitude to the group for the donation and said the money will help a great deal to settle the school fees of some of the 58 children of the orphanage who will soon be writing their exams.
Rev. Azumah called on other benevolent organisations to support them, particularly, in feeding the children and supporting their educational needs.
“We have 58 children, 33 girls and 25 boys. Two of them are in the University, eight in Senior High School, Six just completed BECE and the rest are in basic school. These items will support their feeding, while the money will settle the school fees of the 58 children.
“We thank Kojo Antwi and the group for putting a smile on our faces, and we also call on other benevolent organisation to let the birthday of Kojo Antwi challenge them to support other orphanages and the vulnerable in society,” he said.
