Ashanti Council of State Member donates food items to two Orphanages in Kumasi

Mr. Yaw Bimpeh, the Ashanti Regional Representative on the Council of State, has donated food items and assorted drinks to inmates at the Dwenase Rehabilitation Centre and the Apre Cherub Children’s Home to support their upkeep.

The donated items included five bags of rice for each facility, gallons of cooking oil, toiletries, boxes of soap, washing powder, assorted drinks, packs of mineral water, and cartons of Tasty Tom tomato paste.

Presenting the items, Mr. Bimpeh said the gesture was his contribution to improving the welfare of the less privileged in society.

He explained that anyone could find himself or herself in the situation of the inmates, adding that it is not of their own making.

Mr. Bimpeh appealed to philanthropists, individuals, and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) to extend support to the vulnerable so they do not become a burden to society.

He commended the management of both institutions for their commitment to enhancing the well-being of inmates.

Mr. Bernard Osei Bonsu, Administrator of Cherub Children’s Home, and Mrs. Rita Agyei, Manageress of Dwenase Rehabilitation Centre, expressed profound gratitude to Mr. Bimpeh for the donation.

According to them, the items came at a critical time and would greatly support the upkeep of the inmates.

They appealed to the general public, corporate bodies and CSOs to emulate Mr. Bimpeh’s example and extend support to the facilities.
