NOVEMBER
17, 2001: ADVENTURES IN AFRICA
This is a report
on the donation we made last February to ex-service men in Ghana.
The presentation was made to the Legion Village in Accra on
Friday, the 15th of February. It was contained in the 20Hours
GMT or 8pm home news bulletin on Radio Ghana NEWS on February
16th. It was also aired in the Uniiq Fm's NEWS in BRIEF AT 21HOURS
or 9pm on February 17th. Below is the full report by the Ghana
Broadcasting Reporter.
The Care-taker of
Accra Legion Village, Awuni Kanji, has appealed to NGOs and
other Philantropists to help improve the physical infrastructure
at the village. He said most electrical fittings, windows and
doors of the buildings are in a state of disrepair. He said
such a situation does not befit them in view of their sacrifices
in the country's independence struggle.
Mr. Kanja made the
appeal when Shalom Indigenous Foundation, a local Baptist Mission
NGO, with support from Grace Baptist Mission-Ghana, based in
the US, donated five million cedis worth of used clothing and
food items to the Village.
He expressed the
Village's gratitude for the donation and hoped others would
respond positively to their plight. The President of the Shalom
Indigenous Foundation, the Rev. Noah Quarshie, said as a Christian
mission, it is not only concerned about the spiritual development
of the people, but also providing their physical needs.
