From Benjamin Xorman Glover, Yorogo
Citi FM, an Accra-based private radio station, has presented food items worth GH¢1,500 and an amount of GH¢2,000 to an orphanage at Yorogo, near Bolgatanga in the Upper East Region.
The donation, comprising eight maxi bags of rice, one bag each of maize, gari, beans and sugar, some gallons of cooking oil as well as confectionery, forms part of the station’s social responsibility towards the needy in the society.
The team leader and officer in charge of Operations at Citi FM, Richard Mensah, assisted by the Northern Regional Correspondent of the station, Mr Abdul Karim Naatogmah, handed over the items to the management and staff of the Mama Laadi Foster Home as part of activities marking this year’s Easter celebrations.
Presenting the items, Mr Mensah said the funds for the items were raised through appeals made on air to its listeners.
He promised that the station would continue to help bring happiness to people who needed it.
The Supervisor of the foster home, Madam Laadi Ayine, commended Citi FM for their kind gesture and said that the gift had come at a very opportune time because the prices of food items had shot up.
Madam Laadi’s view was corroborated by the Board Chairman of the home, Naba Aberimah 11, Chief of Yikene, who said the donation would go a long way to ease the burden faced by the management of the home.
The orphanage currently has 50 inmates, 41 of which are resident in the home, undergoing various reform programmes, after which they would join their families, communities and some few boarding schools, with the support from the home.
Majority of the children in the orphanage have lost one or both parents and have been rejected by their families with the reason that if they are kept around, they could kill other family members with their “witchcraft.”
