Dr Daniel Acheampong, a faculty member of the Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU), has donated desktop computers to two orphanages in Ghana.
The donations were made to Rising Star Home in Dodowa and Good Shepherd Home in Ofankor.
The gesture was aimed at significantly improving the technological infrastructure of the two institutions and equip them with essential tools for learning and development in an increasingly digital world.
In an interview with The Spectator, Dr Acheampong highlighted the significant role that technology plays in shaping the future.
Dr Acheampong emphasised the significance of adapting to and leveraging technology to unlock new educational and professional opportunities.
He shared inspiring stories of how technological skills could lead to meaningful societal contributions, reinforcing the potential impact these tools could have on the children’s lives.
Ms Victoria Samson, Leader and Founder of Rising Star Home, said they were deeply moved by the donation.
She expressed gratitude to the donors, recognising the transformative effect these resources would have on the children’s educational journeys and future prospects.
Ms Samson pledged to effectively utilise and maintain the technology, ensuring it would provide lasting benefits for the children’s development.
The initiative is supported by Ms Tracy Wermelskirchen, FGCU’s Procurement Card Manager and the Lutgert College of Business.
“By equipping both orphanages with these crucial tools, the initiative will not only enhance the children’s learning opportunities but also sets a powerful example of global collaboration and impact” she added.

About 120 golfers from clubs across Ghana participated in an 18-hole competition, dubbed ‘MTN 30th Anniversary CEO Invitational Golf Tournament’ held at the Achimota Golf Club on Saturday.
At the end of the hectic day, Frederick Semenu Duvor won the Men’s Group A event with 39 points, while Julienne Afi claimed the Ladies’ Group A title with the same score.
Yaw Mireku Jnr. won the Men’s Group B with an impressive 45 points, while Kous Louanges Mang took the Ladies’ Group B title with 38 points.
Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.
In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.
Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.
He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.
He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.
In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.
But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
