Story: Nana Konadu Agyeman, Koforidua
PRESBYTERIAN Churches in the New Juaben Municipality yesterday donated assorted food items and other materials worth GH¢1,500 to the Children’s Ward of the Regional Hospital at Koforidua.
The items included 14 cartons of fruit drinks, 25 cartons of soap, toiletries, biscuits, 50 toys and other provisions.
Presenting the items on behalf of the churches, the Chairman of the Akuapem Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Rev. Dr Joseph Obiri Yaw Mante, said the donation formed part of the social responsibility of the churches towards the underprivileged and the poor in society.
“On a special occasion like Christmas when Christ was given to mankind as a gift, it behoves Christians to also demonstrate such love for the poor and underprivileged in society”, he stated.
He was hopeful that the presentation would help put a smile on the faces of the beneficiaries and prayed for their speedy recovery.
Receiving the items on behalf of the management of the hospital, Ms Mary Attipoe, a Principal Nursing Officer, thanked the churches for the gesture and promised to ensure a fair distribution of the items to the beneficiaries.
