About 60 members of the National Service Personnel End of Service Project (NSPESP) of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) last Friday donated items worth over GH¢3,000 to inmates of the Weija Leprosarium in the Ga South Municipality of the Greater Accra Region.
The items included bags of rice, milk, sugar, washing soap, toilet rolls, bottled water and used clothing.
The personnel also joined the inmates in a tree planting exercise at the leprosarium.
Presenting the items, the Chairman of the NSSESPP, Eric Ansah, averred that the donation was in fulfillment of the project’s objectives to make donations to the vulnerable in society.
He further explained that members were expected to embark on school and community visit during which time they would engage the people on user friendly strategies to ensure effective protection of the environment.
The Administrator of the Weija Leprosarium, George Quansah, commended the personnel for making the donation and called for more donations to help them maintain the 30 inmates at the leprosarium.
He called on well-meaning Ghanaians to provide support to sustain the inmates who have lived in the camp all their lives.
The administrator appealed to the public to help deal with the stigmatization of the inmates.
