THE Rotary Club of Accra Airport has presented a cheque for GH¢15,730 to the Matthew Chapter 25 House, a Koforidua-based Christian non-governmental organisation, which caters for persons living with HIV and AIDS (PLWHAs).
The donation formed part of the club's annual support to the House to cater for the medical expenses, feeding, school fees and educational materials for orphans and PLWHAs.
The donation comprised a cheque for GH¢3,000 to offset the accumulated debt owed by the PLWHAs of the House to the Eastern Regional Hospital at Koforidua and a cheque for GH¢5,200 as scholarships for three senior high school female students.
Orphans living with the disease were also presented with a cheque for GH¢900 to cater for the educational material needs.
Additionally, a cheque for GH¢7,000 was also given to the House to pay for drugs for the PLWHAs and another cheque for GH¢4,000 to enable the House to pay for expenses incurred on their feeding.
Presenting the cheques, the President of the club, Mr Ebow Acquah, said members of the club decided to donate the cheques as part of its yearly support for the good work being done by Matthew Chapter 25 for PLWHAs in Koforidua and its environs.
"The members of the club have over the past four years found the good work being done by the Director of the House, Rev. Fr Alex Bobby Benson, and his staff as effective and dedicated to alleviating the plight of PLWHAs who come from various backgrounds," he stated.
According to him, not long ago, the club donated 20 mattresses and some medical equipment to the House, paid the school fees of a number of students and medical treatment of the PLWHAs at the House.
Receiving the items, Rev. Fr. Benson thanked the members of the Rotary Club of Accra Airport for their support.
He said that was a great relief to the cause being pursued by the House in catering for food, medical and educational expenses for adults, students and orphans at the House.
