Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, a vice presidential candidate for the Democratic National Congress, presented articles to two organizations today as part of her ongoing personal commitment to supporting vulnerable people in Ghana.
The papers presented were to a group of youth rehabilitation institutions in South Labone and the Makers Disability Foundation in Dansoman, Accra. The group of youth rehabilitation institutions includes the South Labone Girls’ Vocational Training Center, the Correctional Center for Girls, the Abused Children’s Shelter, and pre-trial children. These institutions are managed by the Department of Social Welfare and house children between the ages of 15 to 18 years. The facility serves children who have suffered sexual and emotional abuse and human trafficking. In some cases, children have also been completely abandoned. The Maker’s Disability Foundation was founded in 2016. It serves about 100 children with cerebral palsy.
Explaining her rationale for taking a break from her campaign activities to target these two institutions, Professor Opoku-Agyemang indicated that the gesture was part of her personal lifelong commitment to ensuring that those most susceptible to the economic and social struggles received a helping hand. . He also took the opportunity to interact interactively with the children and caregivers.
“I believe that regardless of the circumstances, vulnerable Ghanaians, when given a fair chance, have the ability to contribute something to our nation. This is my best endeavor to encourage these young people to reorient their attitudes towards life and to help their courageous caregivers turn them into productive citizens. I hope my small contribution inspires all well-meaning Ghanaians to do the same. I am confident that we can do it together, ”he said.
Bags of rice, cartons of oil, bags of beans, cartons of bottled water, bags of pure water, exercise books, Lele Mackerel boxes, math games, and assorted toiletries were delivered to both institutions. An undisclosed cash donation was also made to both institutions.
Prof. Opoku- Agyemang was accompanied by Ms. Sherry Ayitey- National Vice President of the NDC, Mr. Ade Coker- Regional President of Greater Accra Region, Ambassador Molly Anim-Addo, Mr. Mustapha Abubakar- Former Deputy Executive Director of Masloc, Abigail Elorm – Deputy National Organizer for Women, Ruth Della Seddoh- Deputy National Organizer for Youth and the Regional Deputy Organizers of Greater Accra, as well as the PCs and Presidents of the electoral districts of La Dadekotopon and Ablekuma West.
