THE Country Director of the Christian Children’s Fund of Canada (CCFC), Mrs Sanatu Natogma has urged corporate bodies to extend a hand of support to deprived children to enable them cope with life.
According to her, it is a blot on society’s conscience to abandon children who by no fault of theirs are born into poverty, thereby impeding their growth and happiness.
“Just as you have extended support to many social events, it would also be very beneficial and prudent if such support gets to children, who we all know are the future of our dear nation,” Mrs Natogma stated during a ceremony where the CCFC was presented with a quantity of assorted products by Fan Milk Ghana Limited.
The items were meant to support the CCFC hold its annual party for children in deprived communities in various parts of the Northern Region.
This year’s party is being held in Bimbilla for children selected from rural communities in the Nanumba North district that have been beneficiaries of the CCFC’s development interventions.
“Each year, we organised some sort of event to bring joy onto the faces of children in our operational areas. It is a way of putting smiles on their faces and letting them grow with hope of a better future,” Mrs Natogma stated
She again mentioned that such get-togethers help promote positive socialisation and interaction among the children, who are drawn from various communities with different cultural backgrounds.
Mrs Nantogmah commended Fan Milk Ghana for its kind gesture, adding that the company had shown it was committed to the welfare of children.
“We hope this will be the beginning of a wonderful collaboration in the interest of children who are deprived,” she stated further.
The Tamale Depot Manager of Fan Milk, Mr Joe Manu, said it was the company’s hope that its “widows mite” could help make the children happy.
