Tarkwa, Oct. 28, GNA – The Sekondi Diocese of the Anglican Church has donated assorted items worth GH?1,550 to the Angles of hope orphanage home in Tarkwa.
The items included a fridge, a gas cooker, cylinder, blender, soaps, fruit juice, biscuits, yams, cartons of milk and used clothing.
Presenting the items, Venerable Joseph Emmanuel Mensah, Archdeacon in charge of Saint Peters Anglican Church in Tarkwa, said the Saint Stephens, Saint Peters and Saint Paul’s Anglican churches all contributed in donating the items to the orphanage home.
He said the donation forms part of activities marking the 30 years anniversary celebration of the church adding that as a Christian organization they were motivated by the call of Jesus Christ to help the poor and needy in the society.
He said it was appropriate for Christians to cultivate the habit of demonstrating the love of God to the less privileged in the society.
Venerable Mensah expressed the hope that the items would help alleviate plight of the home.
Madam Juliana Bekye, assistant director of the orphanage, thanked the church for the kind gesture and called on other NGOs and corporate bodies to follow the example of the church.
