Restoration Worship Centre A/G donates to Akwadum Christian Orphanage
Restoration Worship Centre, Assemblies of God (A/G), Suhum, last Saturday donated assorted items to the Akwadum Christian Orphanage in the Eastern region.
The items included bags of rice, biscuits, beverages, sachet water, bottled water, yam, confectionaries, soap, detergents, shoes, clothes and others.
Presenting the items, the Youth President of the Church, Mr Foster Odei Ansong, said the gesture was to support the effort of the leaders of the orphanage and also formed part of the church’s social responsibility to the community.
The Head Pastor of the Church, Rev. Dr James Amoako, stated that it was the utmost duty and mandate of the church to look after orphans and widows.
He added that, “as a church, it’s also our social responsibility to reach out to the community and one of such ways is to extend arms to the needy and parentless.”
Receiving the items, the caretaker and administrator of the orphanage, Madam Edith Ahama, said the home was founded by Madam Elizabeth Osei, a nurse who was in her retirement in 2015.
She mentioned that a basic school was attached to the orphanage which serves both inmates and children of the community.
She appreciated the church for their support saying, the donation would go a long way to help the children and the orphanage as a whole.
She called on other benevolent organisations to emulate the church’s example and assist the orphanage.

Minister for the Interior, Mubarak Mohammed Muntaka, has confirmed that former Chief Executive Officer of the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC), Sedina Tamakloe Attionu, is in prison and serving her jail term.
Speaking in an interview on Joy news, Mr. Muntaka dismissed claims that the former MASLOC boss was being held in a private location.
He said she has been in the custody of the state since she returned to Ghana.
“From the day Sedina came, she has been with us, and she’s serving her time,” he said.
The minister explained that the public is not usually told the specific prison where inmates, especially high-profile persons, are being held for security reasons.
He said even judges who sentence offenders do not necessarily know the specific prison where they are sent.
“If you want to visit her, you can write to the Prisons Service. They will talk to her, and if she is interested in you coming, she will let you come,” Mr. Muntaka stated.
According to him, disclosing the location of high-profile inmates could put their lives at risk, adding that some developed countries also keep such information confidential for security purposes.
His comments come amid public speculation over the whereabouts of Ms. Tamakloe Attionu following reports that she had returned to Ghana to begin serving her prison sentence.
