Atta Mills Foundation donates to Home

Kumasi, April 6, GNA - The Atta Mills Foundation, a pro-democracy Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) at the weekend donated assorted food items, clothes and footwear worth several thousands of Ghana cedis to the inmates of the Kumasi Children's Home. This was after the NGO had undertaken a four-hour clean-up exercise at the Home.

Presenting the items, Togbui Mawufeame Fugah, Life Patron of the Foundation, said effective and proper child care should be the priority of parents in the country.

This, he said, was very crucial in lessening the high rate of streetism, child labour and neglect, which had proved to be counter productive to the nation's development agenda. Togbui Fugah explained that children were the asset of any nation and as such well-meaning Ghanaians should commit resources to their proper upbringing to enable them become responsible citizens in future. Madam Theresa Tengey, Principal Child Care Officer of the Home, thanked the Foundation for the gesture.
