THE Deputy Eastern Regional Minister, Baba Jamal Mohamed Ahmed, has presented two wheelchairs to two physically challenged persons, Miss Sekina Omar and Miss S. Sadia, both petty traders at Akwatia.
The two, who prior to the donation were using crutches because they could not afford a wheelchair, made their plight known to Mr Baba Jamal who offered to assist.
Presenting the wheelchairs to the two women at Akwatia, Baba Jamal said he decided to provide the wheelchairs to enhance the mobility of the women so that they would be able to improve their trading activities and generate appreciable income for their sustenance.
Mr Baba Jamal said the donation was in line with his social responsibility initiative to help the needy, especially disadvantaged persons.
He stated that physically challenged persons like any others, were capable of doing everything, provided they received the necessary assistance.
The deputy minister expressed the hope that the beneficiaries would make the best out of their unfortunate situation to fend for themselves and their families.
Miss Sakina and Miss Sadia thanked Baba Jamal for the gesture and said the donation would not only improve their mobility, but also their trading activities.
