A philanthropic group known as Friends of Love, based at Nsima in the Kwadaso Municipality of the Ashanti Region, has donated assorted items to the Beads of Life Foundation, formerly the Beads of Life Orphanage, at New Koforidua in the Juaben Municipality.
The donation comprised four bags of rice, fruits, assorted soft drinks, toiletries, detergent, soaps, four boxes of mackerel sardines, second-hand clothing, cooking oil, sandals, shoes, biscuits, and other items.
Presenting the items, the spokesperson of the group, Madam Afua Pokuaa, said the gesture was intended to bring joy to the children and demonstrate love to the underprivileged, especially during the Christmas season.
She expressed gratitude to the group’s patron, Anthony Baffour Awuah, for his support and revealed that members of the group made financial contributions towards the donation.
“Christmas is a season of love, and as parents, we felt it was important to also come here to feed and clothe these children, as the Bible teaches that there is more blessing in giving than in receiving,” she stated.
One of the leaders of the group, Ama Tweneboah, commended the management of the foundation for the care and dedication shown to the children and pledged the group’s continued support to the home.
Another leader, Georgina Osei, appealed to corporate bodies and philanthropists to come to the aid of the children, noting that the visit was aimed at showing love and compassion.
Receiving the items, the father of the house, Addo Collins, expressed appreciation to Friends of Love for the kind gesture and prayed for God’s blessings upon them. He also encouraged other well-meaning individuals to emulate the group’s example.
Special prayers were later offered for the group by one of the inmates, asking for God’s guidance, protection, and prosperity in their endeavours.
