As part of its corporate social responsibilities, Fountain Gate International school, a subsidiary of Fountain Gate Chapel has presented items worth GH¢620.00 to inmates at the children’s ward of the Bolgatanga Regional hospital. The items which include cartons of Milo, milk, drinks, boxes of biscuits as well as toiletries among others were made to also benefit inmates at the Female maternity ward. Presenting the items on behalf of the entire management, staff and the student body, Perpetual Sambilla, a JHS 1 student said the donation which is the first of its kind to be given to the hospital forms part of their yearly activity to reach out to the needy especially those who due to their present predicament are unable to partake in any social gathering including Christmas. She said the school recognizing the importance of such people thought it wise to give a helping hand. The donation she further explained is to promote inclusion since some of them are neglected by families, friends and the society as a result of their present situation. She prayed that the items will go a long way to improve the health condition of beneficiaries. The Nurse–in–charge, Florence Alentis supported by other colleagues present received the items with much joy and appreciation and thanked the school for their show of concern and encouraged them to do more to help bring smile to the faces of those brought on admission. The items, she pledged would be made available to the inmates and called on other organizations and institutions to emulate the gesture, particularly this festive season.  At the female maternity ward, the nurse-in-charge, Madam Jamila Mohammed, expressed the hospital’s appreciation to the school and called for God’s blessing upon them so that more of such would be made to benefit other inmates at the various wards. The Headmistress of the school who represent as the leader of the delegation, Helen Adongo, said the school over the years have made similar donations and would continue to reach out to more institutions. She disclosed plans by the school to extend their gesture to other organizations including orphanages and appealed to other agencies and philanthropists to help give to the poor and needy in society.
