As part of its Community care programme,
Samsung Ghana has demonstrated true commitment to impacting on the lives of the
poor and hopeless in society. After bringing smiles on the faces of vulnerable
children in most orphanages of Northern Ghana, Samsung Ghana has once again extended
its hand of friendship to God’s Love Ministry, an orphanage based at Soe in the
Upper East Region. The orphanage took delivery of 30 boxes of Cow and Gate baby
food meant to support the mental and physical growth of the inmates. Other orphanages
that has benefited from the package include Mama Laadi Foster Home and Mother
of Mercy Baby Home both located in the region. Other orphanages in Tamale have
also benefited from Samsung Ghana, whilst others in Accra and Kumasi are yet to receive
their share of the offer. Speaking to Radio Ghana after the presentation, a
representative from Samsung Ghana , Salome Amanor said the company is bent on
reaching out to persons that need help especially those that are without family
to take care of them, hence the intervention of Samsung Ghana to forestall hope
in them. She hinted that it was the wish and passion of the company to touch
many more lives through such packages and would ensure that frantic efforts are
made to ensure the sustainability of their community care programme to benefit
other institutions. One of the care takers of God’s love Ministry, Felix
Akampoi showed gratitude to Samsung Ghana for the gesture and encourage them to
bring smile on the faces of the poor and vulnerable in society. Mr. Akampoi revealed that the organization since
its inception has been able to resettle more children with their families. Most
of these children, he added were picked from deprived homes in the region. The orphanage
which currently harbors 9 children takes care of children between the ages 3
months up to 17 years. They are adequately
fed, offered accommodation and subsequently taken through the basic level of education
before made to join the mainstream. He said with the support of a UK based NGO,
the orphanage is putting up a classroom accommodation to assist the inmates in
their education. Mr. Akampoi on behalf
of her wife who happens to be the pillar of the orphanage appealed to other individuals
and institutions to assist vulnerable children, particularly orphans since it
is no fault of theirs that they are in that condition. The welfare of such
children, he said should be the concern of all particularly, this yuletide season
where they are sometimes neglected.
