Adaklu Kodzobi (V/R), April 22, GNA – Miss Faustina Babah, the leader of All Souls For Christ Foundation, a Christian Non-Governmental Organisation based in Ho has advised children to cultivate the spirit of volunteerism, to help develop their families and communities.
She said though very young they were indispensable members of their families and society at large.
Miss Babah gave the advice when the Foundation hosted an Easter picnic for over 400 children at Adaklu Kodzobi in the Adaklu district.
There were musical chairs, a dance competition, recital of memory verses and pick and act as part of the programme.
The children were also given food, confectionaries and soft drinks, whilst the aged were also given used clothing.
Miss Babah in an interview with the Ghana News Agency said the programme was an annual affair which they usually hosted in rural communities, adding that this year they were led by the Holy Spirit to go to Adaklu Kodzobi.
She told the children that it was only through accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal saviour that they could achieve their God-given potentials.
Miss Babah urged them to shy away from negative vices including fornication, alcoholism, hard drugs, peer pressure and pilfering.
She advised them to choose the path of obedience and humility saying, “these treats are the fruits of the Holy Spirit,” that would make them great.
Miss Babah encouraged them to focus on their studies and encouraged parents to invest in the education of their children so as to reap the enormous future benefits.
She also encouraged parents to instill the virtues of the Christian life in their children and mould them to become responsible adults in future.
Miss Betty Deh, on behalf of the children thanked the Foundation for “putting smiles on their faces” and making their Easter a memorable one.
Mr Seth Soglo, a Youth Leader of the community, extended his appreciation to the Foundation and pledged the preparedness of the community to assist the children to develop their talents.
