Inchaban (WR), Nov. 4, GNA – The English Assembly of the Anaji Estate District of the Church of Pentecost, has made a significant investment in the lives of students of the Sekondi School for the Deaf, (Sekdeaf) by donating GHC20,000 worth of items to them.
The church, over the weekend presented 200 pieces of sachet water, seven bags of rice, 20 litre oil container, big sacks of beans, gari, and maize, baskets of bread, 10 bottled water, packs of toothpaste, toiletries, deodorants, sanitary pads, among others.
Deaconess Sarah Tsotsoo Quansah, the Assistance Head of the Women’s Ministry of the Church, said the Church had a special ministry for persons with disabilities and so felt obliged to meet the needs of those special children.
She explained that the core mandate of the Christian living was to also meet the needs of the vulnerable in society, adding that “We know the Bible says whatsoever we do to these ones, we do it to the Lord and so we want to feed the poor, cloth the naked and visit the imprisoned as well.”
Madam Regina Esselfie, the Headmistress of the school, who was overwhelmed by the gesture, expressed joy and blessed the church for such a significant support.
She announced that some of the children were doing very well and needed to be assisted to unearth their God given potentials.
Madam Esselfie said: “we now have some of our students in Sekondi-Takoradi College because of the inclusive policy and I know that many schools will open up for our children.”
