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.

President of the Ghana Bar Association, Efua Ghartey, has called on judges and lawyers to carry out their duties with humility, fairness, and a strong sense of responsibility.
She made the appeal during the Supreme Court at 150 celebration held at the University of Ghana, under the theme “Honouring the past, celebrating the present and defining the future.”
Addressing participants, she noted that those in the legal profession occupy positions of great power and influence, and must therefore remain humble in the discharge of their duties.
She urged both the bench and the bar to deliver justice without fear or ill will, stressing the need for fairness in handling cases.
Reflecting on the significance of the celebration, she explained that the year 1876 marks not only the establishment of the Supreme Court but also the beginning of formally trained lawyers in the Gold Coast.
The GBA President questioned what Ghana would be without the rule of law, which is upheld by judges and lawyers, adding that the country could descend into a system where only the strongest survive if justice is not properly administered.
She further encouraged legal practitioners to reflect on their responsibilities and remain committed to upholding the rule of law for the benefit of all citizens.
