CATHOLIC LADIES DONATE TO SHEKINAH CLINIC (PAGE 18, JUNE 18, 2011)

THE Grand Ladies Auxiliary District Four of the Catholic Church in Tamale has donated a number of assorted items and cash to the Shekinah clinic, a home that provides medical care for destitute and the mentally-challenged in Tamale.
The items included bags of rice, maize, sugar, toiletries and used clothing.
Making the presentation, Sister Mary Dan-Braimah noted that the donation formed part of activities to mark the celebration of the Ladies week of the association held at the Sacred Heart Parish in Tamale.
“We chose Shekinah Clinic because we know the good work being done here by the caretakers and so we want to help ease your burden a little,” she stated.
Sister Mary commended the caretakers for demonstrate such care, noting that these were the virtues that Jesus Christ manifested for which man was expected to emulate.
The founder and Director of Shekinah Clinic, Dr David Abdulai, who received the items, thanked the ladies group for endeavouring to extend a hand of support to the inmates of the home.
He mentioned that, in spite of the difficulties, Shekinah Clinic continued to offer free medical care to the inmates, as well as other people who visit the home for care.
He also mentioned the free launch that is offered to mentally challenged persons dotted around the city as a way of helping cater for those who are not in the home, but need the support of the home.
