Dr Emmanuel Kwabena Marfo, the Member of Parliament (MP)for Oforikrom constituency, in the Ashanti Region has donated food items to 2 orphanages and a special school in his jurisdiction.
The charity, dubbed ‘MP’s Father’s day with Children’s homes and special schools took place at All Nations Charity Home premises on Sunday, 19 June 2022.
The kind gesture was part of Dr Marfo’s vision to bring joy to the faces of the inmates of the orphanage homes as the world celebrates fathers.
He donated food items such as bags of maize, beans, rice, gari, sugar, and millet, as well as 6 gallons of palm oil, 6 gallons of oil and bottles of water to All Nations Charity Home at Ayigya
Zongo, King Jesus Children’s Home and Deduako Special School.
The Oforikrom MP also dinned with the inmates at the orphanage homes.
Speaking to the press, after the presentation of the items, Dr Marfo underscored that, “on this special Father’s day, I saw it necessary to donate the food items to the homes as well as dine with the orphans, drink with them and dance with them, because they have no parents. I realized that the move could put smiles on their faces.”
The step he believed will help the inmates to be responsible parents when they grow up.
He advised all fathers to make it a responsibility to cater to their children and family. According to him, the well-being of their kids should be their major priority.
Receiving the items on behalf of the orphanage homes Rev Philip Kwasi Nyamekye ( Executive Director of All Nations Charity Home) thanked the legislator for the kind gesture.
Rev Philip Nyamekye said, “We really appreciate Dr Marfo’s effort. He has been our backbone. He’s donated a lot of things to us. We thank you so much. We pray to God for your life.”
He however seized the opportunity to plead with all stakeholders to support the Children’s homes.
According to him, about 12 of the inmates he raised are in various tertiary institutions whilst others have completed SHS. For this reason, he is calling on all individuals and the government for support.
