US-Based Couple Donates Stationery, Clothes to Street Academy Inmates

STREET Academy, a non-governmental organisation (NGO) dedicated to shaping a brighter future for street children, has received stationery and clothing to support its operations.

The items were donated by Bishop David Lawe and Lady Pastor Michele Lawe of The City of Grace Church in Brooklyn, New York, USA.

The donation was aimed at empowering the children and supporting their education and personal development at the Academy.

The couple created moments of joy as they presented items including T-shirts, trousers, vests, socks, body fresheners, deodorants and tubes to the children.

The donation also included books, pens and pencils, which were warmly received by the young learners, who expressed excitement and gratitude for the gesture.

Speaking in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA), Bishop Lawe said the donation was inspired by the Bible verse in Matthew 25:35–36, which says: “I was hungry and you fed me… I needed clothes, you clothed me.”

He said showing love to people, especially underprivileged children, should not only be through words but through actions that help keep body and soul together.

“We believe these little things will put them on the path of love, knowing that people care about them. These are things they will remember. The undershirts and underwear will help them as they grow,” Bishop Lawe said.

Lady Pastor Lawe also told the GNA that they were committed to sustaining their support and collaboration with the Academy, adding that their visit was to share love.

“We love the children and came to share love because Jesus is love,” she said.

The Founder and Executive Director of the Academy, Mr Ataa Lartey, commended the couple for their benevolence, saying the items would complement efforts to keep the Academy functional.

“They were here last year and promised to come every year to support the children. About a week ago they informed me they were coming, and yesterday they arrived. This morning, they are here again. God bless them so they can gather more resources to support the children,” he said.
