The JOYTON KASKY Foundation has donated food items and clothing worth GHc 6,700 to 34 inmates of the Christian Village Orphanage based in Akwadum, a suburb of Koforidua in the New Juaben North Constituency of the Eastern Region.
The occasion coincided with the third anniversary of the establishment of the Foundation.
Among the items were children’s clothing and footwear, bags of rice, some gallons of vegetable oil, soft drinks,key soap, and bags of sachet water.
Madam Joyce Osei Owusu, Vice President of the Foundation who made the donation on behalf of the group, explained that the gesture was in line with the spirit of Christmas which focused on God’s great gift to humanity through the birth of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ who ultimately became a sacrifice to save humanity from sin.
She said that act of great love by God continued to motivate JOYTON KASKY to also sacrifice its meagre resources to help alleviate the suffering of vulnerable people like orphans, prisoners, and widows.
Madam Osei Owusu appealed to corporate bodies, churches, philanthropists, and well-meaning people to assist the Foundation to sink a borehole for the orphanage which the institution listed as its priority need.
Madam Edith Ahama, Deputy Administrator of the home, mentioned lack of stationery, school uniforms, and sponsorship for continuing students who passed out of the home and were eager to continue their education as some of the problems they faced.
Receiving the donation, Madam Janet Amankwah, a mother of the home thanked the Foundation for making the Christmas season memorable once again for the children just as the group did last year, too. She promised to ensure fair distribution of the items to the children.
