PRESENTATION
OF ITEMS TO THE KANESHIE CRIPPLED HOME
Items including 7 commodes (portable toilets),18 pairs of
clutches and 12 Walkers for the aged and the disabled were presented to the
Ghana Society for the Socially Disadvantaged also referred to as the Crippled
Home located at Kaneshie in Accra.
The items were presented by Ms.
Brigide A. Chadam, a Florida based Ghanaian Health Care professional. She was
assisted by Pastor Sam, of the Abundant Joy Ministries and Mrs. Elizabeth
Korasare the Executive Director of Real Opportunities Network an NGO working
towards the wellbeing of Women, Children and the Voiceless.
Receiving
the items, the Director of the Home, Mr. Awuku in a short remark, lauded Ms.
Chadam for her kind gesture. He lamented that the home depended on donations and
gifts from philanthropists, individuals and organizations thus making the
day-to-day operations very challenging. He, however, noted that freewill donations
give the inmates a sense of acceptability and assurance that society is
interested in their wellbeing. Mr. Awuku used the occasion to solicit for
support in kind and cash for the skills training department located at the
centre. This departed requires machinery and materials for production in order
to run at maximum capacity to generate income internally for the upkeep of the
inmates.
Mrs. Chadam in her statement
commended Mr. Awuku for his selfless contribution towards the management of the
crippled Home. She expressed her inner desire to present the items before the year
2013 ends, as her contribution towards society and especially the physically
disadvantaged. She noted that she
understands and appreciates the conditions of these socially disadvantaged
persons because her last child also has an impairment. She pledged her support and
interest in the activities of the home and assured them of her constant visit
anytime she is closer to the Home.
At the time of the visit, most of
the inmates have returned home to celebrate Christmas with their families.
