Rev. Peter Nsiah Bonsu, presenting the items to Ashan Children’s Home officials
Baffuor Konadu Yiadom, Managing Director (MD) of the Ashan Children’s Home at Denase, near Kumasi, has stated that the implementation of the free Senior High School (SHS) policy would help reduce crime in the country.
According to him, most Junior High School (JHS) graduands end up on the streets and became hardened criminals, because their parents and guardians fail to bear the cost of the expensive Senior High School (SHS) education.
The Ashan Children’s Home Director therefore lauded the vision of President Akufo-Addo to make SHS education in the country free, stressing that the move would help a lot of young criminals to reform.
Mr Konadu Yiadom disclosed this while speaking in an exclusive interview with DAILY GUIDE after Rightway Christian Center (RCC) at Kronom, near Kumasi, donated items worth GHC3,000 to his outfit to support the upkeep of the inmates.
The items included bags of rice, boxes of soap, cartons of milk, boxes of Milo energy drink, bags of sugar, gallons of cooking oil, assorted soft drinks and toiletries, just to mention a few.
He charged pastors in the country to always focus on Biblical teachings on marriage in order to halt the rise in divorce cases which lead to delinquency.
Rev. Peter Nsiah Bonsu, Founder of RCC, stated that the donation formed part of the church’s social and religious responsibility mainly intended to put smiles on the faces of the orphans at the Home.
He stated that children in the various orphanages are endowed with traits and wisdom to grow and become influential people in future.
William Tenkorang, Supervisor of the Home, who received the items, thanked the church for the gesture, stressing that the construction of a library to help inmates to study remains the topmost priority of the home.
