Church on the Rock International extends love to BOSCO Orphanage
The Church on the Rock International has donated items to BOSCO Orphanage at Trotor in the Suhum Constituency of the Eastern Region on the New Year’s Eve.
The items included food, beverages, students’ mattresses, sachet and bottled water, educational materials, toiletries and assorted fruits.
Speaking at the presentation, the Associate Pastor of the Church, Rev. Mrs Sophia Appenteng, said, “We believe in demonstrating God’s love through our actions. Today was not just about giving but about connecting with these children and reminding them that they are deeply loved and cared for by God and by us.”
She said the visit was not the first time but for the past 20 years, the church has not left the children unattended.
The children expressed joy and gratitude for the time shared and the blessings received through the Home Father, Rev. Emmanuel Sakyi.
Members of the church, alongside the children, shared a meal, danced, and celebrated together, creating a joyful atmosphere of unity and belonging.
“It was evident that the presence and fellowship of the church members has left a lasting impression on the hearts of the children,” he stated.
“The Church on the Rock International continues to be a beacon of hope and a testament to the power of Christian love in action,” he added.
Rev. Sakyi appealed to philanthropists and government to come to the aid of the little ones by providing accommodation for both students and teachers.

The Committee, chaired by Deputy Minister Yussif Issaka Jajah, will coordinate stakeholders, address bottlenecks, and ensure timely delivery of the project.

The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) has stepped up its fire safety education efforts in Suhum Municipality and Abetifi Odwenease as part of ongoing campaigns to prevent fire outbreaks and improve emergency readiness.
In Suhum, fire officers engaged traders and customers, educating them on handling LPG leakages, proper use of fire extinguishers, and general shop safety practices. Meanwhile, the Kwahu East Command extended outreach in Abetifi Odwenease, visiting homes, drinking spots, construction sites, and stores to promote safe handling of flammable materials, proper electrical usage, and correct gas cylinder placement.
Practical demonstrations on fire extinguisher use were conducted, and residents were encouraged to adopt good housekeeping habits and proactive safety measures to reduce fire risks and protect lives and property.
