First Lady Mrs. Rebecca Akufo-Addo, on Wednesday, distributed food and household items to three physically challenged institutions and the Accra Psychiatric Hospital, at a short presentation ceremony, in Accra.
The gesture which was under the First Lady’s Foundation, benefited Mampong School for the Deaf, State School for the Deaf, Adjei Kojo and the Akropong School for the Blind.
A statement issued by the Office of the First Lady in Accra, said the assorted items presented to the three institutions included some bags of rice, oil, sugar, shoes and clothes.
The rest are gowns and diapers, which went to the Accra Psychiatric Hospital to be used by nursing mothers on admission at the Hospital.
Mrs. Akufo-Addo, Founder of the Rebecca Foundation, presented two big gallons of oil, two 50 kilos weight of sugar, 20 bags of rice as well as five boxes of shoes and five boxes of-Samaritan-Purse-goodies, in a set of three packages for each of the three institutions.
Speaking at the ceremony, Mrs. Akufo-Addo thanked the institutions for the wonderful work they were doing, and urged the recipients to make prudent use of the items.
The administrators of the institutions expressed their appreciation to the First Lady for the kind gesture, which they said would go a long way to help cater for the students as well as for the patients of the hospital.
