Margaret Abbey
Margaret Abbey, a gospel musician, has donated items worth GH¢ 20,000 to the Mephibosheth Training Centre, an orphanage for children with special needs in Winneba, Central Region.
Items presented include bags of pillows, biscuits, drinks, T-rolls, rice and cooking oil, mattresses and an undisclosed amount of money.
The donation which forms part of Margaret’s birthday celebration was held in collaboration with a new foundation she founded named Maggie’s Care Foundation.
She stated that the support is to fulfil one of the core mandates of the foundation, which is to be a blessing to the less-privileged in society.
“The ministry is not only about music, I believe as gospel musicians, our lives must positively affect the lives of others and the impact should be a directed to these children because they need our physical support,” she said.
Margaret stated that her ministry intends to extend this gesture to other orphanages in the country, calling on other gospel musicians to contribute in similar ways.
Rev Jehu Appiah, Founder of Mephibosheth Training Centre, expressed his gratitude to the ministry and appealed to government to extend the National School Feeding programme to the institution.
“These children deserve special attention, the responsibility is huge, we only depend on the support of donors, if government comes in, it will reduce the burden on us, we cannot do this alone,” he mentioned.
Margaret Abbey was accompanied by her church pastor - Reverend Christopher of Redeem Evangelist Church who chaired the whole small event.
Margaret Abbey’s “Yen Agyenkwa” with songs such as 'Mahoden', 'Wbese Me Yie', 'It Is Well' and 'Osim Me Bo' featuring Elder Agyiri is still doing well on the airwaves.
The Maggie’s Care Foundation is a growing Christian foundation dedicated to using music to win people into the Kingdom of God, and also to support the needy in society.
