Television stations in Ghana are a 'disgrace' - Yvonne Nelson

Multi-talented actress, Yvonne Nelson, has made sterling revelations regarding her Glaucoma Foundation which she started some time back to help sufferers of the disease.

The actress who is somewhat regarded as ‘controversial’ for her liberalism, revealed that, she has been unable to source funding for numerous projects for her foundation for some unknown reasons...she hinted that so far all expenses of the Foundation have been catered for from her own purse.


According to her, almost all those who pledged their support in cash to the Foundation have for one reason or the other failed to honour their pledge. This she said was hampering the operations of her glaucoma Foundation, whilst she has to buy drugs at expensive amounts every two weeks for her benefactors.


The current touted ‘hottest and sexiest’ actress in Ghana lamented how television stations in the country had contributed to her woes with all except GTV, who are a bit soft on her (because they offered her an additional one month free). She was speaking on an entertainment program last week.

The actress also disclosed in the interview that her essay writing competition on the diseases, which she launched to create awareness has also been put on hold until further notice, “I cannot do everything on my own, I need each and everyone’s support to tackle glaucoma in this country”, she lamented.


Yvonne, who just finished serving her one-year ban from the movie front, was on the show to talk about her first effort at producing a movie, ‘Single and married’, which over the weekend recorded a record breaking attendance at the Silverbird cinema in Accra.
