NGO catering for Adaklu Anyigbe orphans

Adaklu Have (V/R), Sept. 10, GNA-World Mission Outreach Fellowship (WMOF), a USA-based Christian non-governmental organisation (NGO), is catering for over 100 orphans in the Adaklu Anyigbe District. Most of the children were suffering from teeth decay, ringworm and other skin diseases and the NGO would also intensify efforts to rid the children of these diseases.

Pastor Gideon Gogo, Director of the Ghana branch of the WMOF, disclosed this to GNA when he led a team of medical personnel to offer a one-day free medical care for the orphans at Adaklu-Have in the district at the weekend.

He said the NGO was also providing basic educational materials for the orphans to enable them to go to school.

Pastor Gogo expressed worry that some orphans were left to their fate by their extended families and appealed to wealthy people to support such children to enable them become responsible citizens. "Most children parading the streets in our towns and cities are orphans who need our assistance," he said.

Pastor Gogo said the NGO would soon establish a vocational school at Adaklu Have to cater for such children, especially those who would not be able to make it to the Senior High School.

Mr. Simon Adama, an opinion leader of the town, urged religious organizations in the country to support orphans and observed that the proverbial Ghanaian hospitality was fast eroding. He commended the NGO for their efforts to assist orphans and appealed to other organisations and philanthropists to emulate the World Vision.
