PEACE and Love Hospitals based in Accra and Kumasi, in conjunction with Breast Care International (BCI), a non-governmental organisation dedicated to breast cancer awareness, diagnosis, treatment, counselling and rehabilitation of patients, at the weekend donated various food items and educational materials to the Herman Gmeiner Orphanage and School at Asiakwa.
The items, worth GH¢3,000, included clothes, schoolbags, footwear, learning materials, cooking oil and three bags of rice.
Making the presentation, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Peace and Love Hospitals, Dr (Mrs) Beatrice Wiafe Addai, said the donation was in line with her outfit’s social responsibility to ensure the happiness of children, who should also benefit from formal education.
She said apart from that, the two organisations had been conducting breast cancer awareness campaigns and screening exercises in the communities to assist less privileged women, especially those in the rural areas.
Receiving the items on behalf of the school, the Headteacher, Mr Felix Ntiamoah Kyeremeh, expressed appreciation to the two organisations for coming to the aid of the orphanage and school.
He said the items would further improve the lot of the inmates and the pupils and appealed to other organisations for support.
