Asanteman Kuo supports Cherubs Home

The items, which were presented in line with the association’s resolve to give true meaning to Christmas as an occasion to support the needy in society, included four large boxes of used clothing, footwear, toiletries and soft drinks among others.

Presenting the items, the Vice-President of the association, Mr John Arhin, said since Jesus Christ came for the poor and the down-trodden, it was important that on the occasion of Christmas, attention was focused on the needy.

He said the association  whose membership is made up of Ashantes living in Dusseldorf, made a similar donation to the Kumasi Children’s Home last year.

He said the Asanteman Kuo planned to drill boreholes and construct other projects in some communities in the region.

The director of the home, Mr Nicholas Osei Bonsu, who received the items, thanked the group for the gesture, saying it would go a long way to improve their operations.

Opened in 2005, the home currently has 40 inmates, including orphans and street children.

The director said two inmates had completed university while others were in senior high school, junior high and primary schools.

He appealed to the public to come to the aid of the home to enable it address the myriad of challenges it faced.
