The Ghana Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC) has donated items worth GH¢1,000 to the Christian Faith Foster Home at Frafraha in Accra.
The items included cartons of milk, bags of beans and sugar, cooking utensils, loaves of bread, electric irons, tubers of yam, cartons of fish, bags of water and foodstuffs.
Presenting the items, the Deputy Director-General of GAEC, Professor Yaw Serfor-Armah, said the donation became possible through the proceeds they got from the commission’s annual thanksgiving service which was organised with churches which had their premises on the commission's land.
He advised the children to obey their guardians in order to receive blessings from God.
He also encouraged them to study hard in order to attain higher positions in future.
Receiving the items, the Supervisor and Administrator of the Home, Madam Victoria Abraham, took the opportunity to appeal to the government and philanthropists to provide the community with pipelines to extend clean drinking water to the school, since it depended on water from a bore hole which was not hygienic enough.
She again appealed to the general public to provide them with stand-by generators to supply them with electricity during power outages.
She thanked the commission for its kind gesture and called on other institutions to emulate their example.
