(Gemany-based Ghanaian gives to NADMO)21/7/09

A Ghanaian based in Germany, Mr Kwasi Heiser, and his wife, Mrs Jessica Heiser, have presented items worth GH¢40,000 to the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) and other organisations in Accra.
The items include items such as used computers, used clothes, footwear, toys, stationery, television sets and crutches.
There were also items meant for the physically challenged.
According to Mr Heiser, the items were made possible by his friends in Germany for distribution among victims of the recent floods in some parts of the country, the physically challenged, street children and other vulnerable people.
The National Co-ordinator of NADMO, Mr Kofi Portuphy, who received the items, expressed his deep appreciation to the couple and their friends for the kind gesture and gave the assurance that they would be used for the intended purpose.
He said recovery missions initiated by the government and other organisations were ongoing to improve the livelihoods of people who had been affected by the floods.
Mr Portuphy appealed to benevolent organisations and individuals to emulate the kind gesture of the couple to offer similar help to victims of the floods.
Other beneficiaries of the donation were Kinder Paradise, a foster home, the African Faith Tabernacle, as well as organisations of the physically challenged.
