The SDA Nursing and Midwifery Training College (NMTC) at Kwadaso in Kumasi, has presented a cash of GH¢1,300 to families of the victims involved in the accident at Tano Dumase, which claimed nine lives during the last Easter festivity.
The cash donation is to help resource families whose members were involved in the fatal accident on April 6, especially, survivors who are now nursing their severe injuries.
The presentation comes after a mass burial service recently held by the SDA church for the nine, made up of six adults and three children.
At the presentation ceremony in Kumasi, Mr. Daniel Attah-Tuffour, Principal of the College, said as they still struggled to get over the shock, they felt obliged as a mission-based institution, to commiserate in a more practical way with the affected families.
He said the money was to help soothe the sorrows of the bereaved families, and hoped it would go a long way to support the social, mental and spiritual well being of the victims’ families.
Pastor Anthony Yeboah Amoako, President of the Central Ghana Conference (CGC) of the SDA church, who received the cash on behalf of the families, thanked the College for the gesture.
He used the occasion to appeal to other institutions, churches and the general public, to come to the aid of the survivors.
It would be recalled that on Saturday, April 6, some members of the Meduma North SDA Church in Kumasi who were returning from an inaugural ceremony at Agona in the Sekyere South District on board a Sprinter bus got involved in a fatal accident when they got to Tano Dumase, resulting in the nine losing their lives.
