The Ashanti Chapter of the Ghana Association of Writers (GAW)has donated books and other learning material to inmates of the King Jesus Charity Home, at Boadi, near Kumasi.
The regional Chairman of GAW, Bernard Elikem Buachi, said for the past two years the chapter has committed to dealing with literacy issues within various orphanages in the region.
He said the decision comes from the fact that people donate a lot of items to orphanages, but GAW is interested in meeting them at the point of their mandate, hence the organisation of reading clinics and donation of learning materials to them.
He recounted that a similar thing has been done with the Remar Children’s Home at Pataase and similar events planned with other homes in the near future.
The GAW Team that visited the orphanage included various professionals drawn from the medical, Banking, journalism, performing arts and wellness fields.
These professionals also interacted with the kids about their professions and encouraged them to study to become successful adults in future.
The GAW chairman observed that many of the children were bright and appealed to various organisations and individuals to offer scholarship opportunities for them.
He expressed his profound gratitude to the management of Mizpah School, for helping some of the kids with scholarships and called on others in the field to emulate their shining example.
Mr. Buachi also appealed to the public to sponsor the Association’s activities to enable them touch the lives of many underprivileged kids.
He commended the managers and workers of the home for the great work they were doing to ensure that the kids realize their future aspirations.
