ASOHOM presents assorted food, learning material, cash to Street Academy
THE Ghana Association of Spouses of Heads of Mission and International Organisations (ASOHOM) last Wednesday visited the Street Academy in Accra to interact with management and children of the centre.
The group also presented assorted food, teaching and learning material with a cash amount of Gh¢3,100 to support the upkeep of the children.
The team was led by Mrs Malika Mene, the spouse of Secretary General of AFCFTA and president of ASOHOM, and Mrs Sovanna Taliercio, Vice-President of ASOHOM and spouse of the World Bank Ghana Country Director.
According to them, the presentation was to support the Academy in its effort to support the street children through school.
Ataa Lartey, the Executive Director of the Academy, expressed gratitude to the members of the association for the support and hoped that other individuals and organisations will emulate the gesture.
Ataa Lartey said the presentation would go a long way to support the 2025 edition of its annual dinner for the children and the community.
Also referred to as Christmas and end-of-year celebration, it will be held today at the premises of the Academy at 4pm.
He expressed gratitude to organisations and individuals that have supported the Academy throughout the year and was hopeful the support would be sustained to ensure that more less privileged children were supported.

The State through the Attorney General (AG) has filed an appeal at the Supreme Court challenging the suspension of the trial in the case of The Republic v Hanan Aludiba and Faiza Seidu.
On Monday, the Court of Appeal suspended the trial in the case. But the prosecution says it has filed an appeal against the suspension order.
According to the update, the law does not allow a criminal trial to be suspended simply because an accused person has complained about some of the charges on the charge sheet, particularly when those complaints were dismissed as meritless.
It argues that if the Court of Appeal’s decision is allowed to stand, no prosecution will ever be possible, since all it would take for a trial to be suspended is an accused person complaining about anything on the charge sheet.
