INMATES of the Asante Mampong Babies Home were beside themselves with joy at the weekend when they were presented with a number of playing kits, including bicycles, assorted toys and clothing.
The donors, who are Ghanaians based in Belgium, in collaboration with some philanthropists at their base, also presented a 34-inch flat screen and a 21-inch colour television sets and a video cassette player to the inmates for entertainment, education and other programmes.
The items, which are estimated at 5000.00 euro and also included a 36-inch deep freezer and chairs, were presented on behalf of the donors by Madam Grace Donkor.
The Bishop of the Anglican Diocese in Kumasi, Rt. Rev. Daniel Yinka Sarfo; the Chairman of the Management Board of the Home, Rev. Canon Francis Dwira, and the acting Archdeacon of the Mampong Archdeaconry, Rev. Fr. David Korankye, were among the dignitaries who graced the occasion.
Presenting the items, Madam Donkor commended the supervisors of the Home for their commitment to developing the potential of the inmates and encouraged them to continue to enable the inmates become fully integrated into society.
She assured them that they would pay regular visits to the Home to motivate the inmates in diverse ways to boost their confidence.
The Superintendent of the Home, Madam Mabel Asafu-Adjaye, who received the items on behalf of the inmates, thanked the donors for their gesture and also assured them that they would not only be maintained well, but would also be put at the disposal of the inmates.
She appealed to the public to regularly interact with the inmates and also support them in diverse ways to enhance their physical and emotional development.
