MTN makes donation to orphanage

Duayaw Nkwanta (B/A), Dec. 26, GNA - MTN Ghana Foundation has presented a cheque for GHC 1,000 to Mum's Love Rural Orphanage at Duayaw Nkwanta towards its end-of-year party and the upkeep of the children. Two officials of the Foundation, Mr Robert Kuzoe, Senior Manager and Mr Malcolm Frazier Appeadu, Co-ordinator, also presented school bags containing MTN pens, note pads, water bottles, footballs and MTN caps to them.

The children were feted and treated to music as they danced and made merry. Mr. Kuzoe said the presentation was in response to a request the orphanage made and was in line with the MTN Foundation's social responsibility to help bridge the gap between rural people and their counterparts in the cities. He said the Foundation, which takes care of the MTN Company's social responsibility activities, makes presentations to children in all parts of the country, especially those in deprived areas, at the end of every year.

Mr. Imoro Adams, the Director of the orphanage, appealed for assistance "to help put smiles and restore hope to children in need." "Any level of financial, material and technical support will be highly appreciated", he said.

Nana Otchere Gyewohene, Ankobeahene of Duayaw Nkwanta who represented Nana Boakye Tromo 11, Omanhene of the Traditional Area and a patron of the orphanage, thanked MTN Ghana Foundation and appealed for more assistance to improve the lives of the orphans.
