Accra, April 25, GNA - Give Me Hope Foundation, a Non-profit organisation has reached out to Chorkor and its environs in a project dubbed “Easter Fun Fair”, with food items, cloths, educational materials and other assorted drinks estimated at over GH¢30,000.00.
The programme, which brought together over seven hundred (700) underprivileged children from the community provided free health screening, free medication, face painting and a lot of educational entertainment.
Mr Wisdom Dordoe, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for Give Me Hope Foundation in an interview with Ghana News Agency noted that the NGO was set up to be the voice for children and the less privileged in society, with the aim of restoring hope and inspiring lives for the underprivileged into greatness.
“Give Me Hope Foundation was set up to help the less privileged in society and give them a sense of belongingness.
“We are not relenting on what we have set out to do, though it has always been difficult mobilising for such a worthy course, throughout our activities, we have been able to reach out to many communities across the country and we seek to continue”.
Mr Dordoe called on institutions, philanthropists, donors and individuals to support Give Me Hope Foundation in impacting on more lives with its great projects.
He said, over 120 children who were not in school or were school drop-outs were registered during the Easter Charity activity and plans were underway to get them back to school and provide the necessary support.
He expressed gratitude to the entire team for giving out their best in seeing the project through, not forgetting their donor partners Smiling Child Foundation, Dr Rose Clinic, SG Mobile Healthcare, Fidelity Bank Direct sales team, Greenland Medical Suppliers and Sagpro Medical Consult.
Dr Gloria Amegatcher, Vice President, Give Me Hope Foundation said the health screening, which bothered on malaria screening, hepatitis B, Hemoglobin, Glucose Levels and HIV status, was one of the foundations’ activities, which was free to children in the slums due to the difficulties in getting medical check-up.
Mr Ishmael Lamptey, chief of the community, who congratulated Give Me Hope Foundation for the kind gesture appealed to other NGOs, Corporate Bodies and Institutions to come to the aid of the less privileged in society to put some smiles on their faces.
