THE Ghana Oil Company Limited (GOIL) has presented assorted items to the Tamale Children’s Home, located at Nyohini, to support the upkeep of the children.
The items, worth GH¢1,000 comprised, two bags of rice, a bag of sugar, milk powder, cooking oil, biscuits, insecticides and toffees. The company also made a cash donation of GH¢1,000 to the home.
The Northern Zonal Manager for Goil, Mr Francis Acquah, who made the presentation, noted that as part of fulfilling its corporate social responsibility, GOIL gives assistance to needy institutions throughout the country on a yearly basis.
“As you know, the company’s motto is ‘sharing good things in business’. We, therefore, share some of our earnings with the needy as a way of cushioning them against the difficulties of life,” he stated.
Mr Acquah stressed that the corporate world and well-to-do members of society must not forget institutions such as orphanages, because the people there were equally human beings who needed a little push to also develop their skills to become useful citizens.
He commended the caretakers of the orphanages, but entreated them to remain honest and committed to discharging their duties.
The Supervisor of the Tamale Children’s Home, Madam Augustina Quainoo, expressed gratitude to GOIL for its support to the home.
She gave the assurance that the items would be utilised wisely to benefit the children.
Madam Augustina said the home was currently taking care of 27 children, with the oldest being 16years whilst the youngest was about a month-old.
She commended Rev. Father Matthew Ballimas for starting a project to fence the home and appealed to other organisations to help in completing the project.
