Donors and recipients in a group photogaph
LIMITLESS, a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), with focus on creating awareness about and reaching out to persons with disability (PWDs), has supported PWDs by donating some consumables to the Ghana Federation of the Disability Organizations (GFD).
On Tuesday morning, Limitless NGO, led by its founder, Arnav Nambiar, met with leaders of the GFD at the Accra Rehabilitation Center where they presented to them 200 bags of rice and 200 sachets of Milo.
The GFD comprises of the Ghana Association of Persons with Albinism, Ghana Blind Union, Ghana National Association of the Deaf and the Ghana Society of the Physically Disabled.
Also present at the brief donation ceremony was the Minster for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Cynthia Mamle Morrison.
In his remarks, Mr Nambiar, founder of the NGO, stressed on his outfit’s focus on improving the livelihood of PWDs, saying it was prudent to support them in these trying times of the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.
He expressed hope that the items would at least meet some of their basic needs.
“We at Limitless believe it is our duty to help people in need and we felt we could also make members of the federation smile,” he noted.
The Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Cynthia Morrison, on her part commended the NGO and Mr Arnav for the love shown towards the PWDs.
“For a young man of his age to think about the vulnerable in society and support them like this, is admirable. I pray that God blesses him to give more of such life-touching support to the vulnerable,” she said.
She also urged other young people capable of helping needy ones in the society including PWDs not to hesitate in doing so.
Dr. Peter Obeng Asamoah, Executive Director of the Ghana Blind Union (GBU), on behalf of the federation, expressed his gratitude to the NGO for the kind gesture and good done them.
He used the opportunity to also appeal to other well-meaning individuals and corporate entities to come to the aid of PWDs in their immediate communities and the nation at large, saying, “Little is not too small.”
