GHABSA-UCC

A REPORT ON THE VISIT TO THE ORPHANAGE HOME ON 11TH OCTOBER;2013 DURING THE GHABSA WEEK CELEBRATION.

Givers never lack and lackers never give; this is one of the 20^th century sayings on our pulpits nowadays. In relation to this the Ghana Biochemistry Students’ Association-UCC branch picked up their philanthropic coats as they visited the Human Service Trust orphanage at Abura as part of the GHABSA week celebration. In attendance were Mr. William Ekloh (the coolest lecturer), Master Banahene; the former president, the incumbent executives and other important and active members.

The short visit commenced with an opening prayer from the current president, Edem  Aghenyegah which  was followed shortly by purpose of visit by Master Banahene. Mr. William Ekloh on behalf of the students gave detailed reasons for the visit. He said and I quote; “ As students, even though they are here to study, they thought it wise to also help their immediate society by deciding to share the little they have with their little brothers and sisters who are not so fortunate as they are. They therefore,want to present these few items to support the home”; unquote. The items donated included a bag of rice,used clothing, provisions, toiletries and many more.

Miss winniefred, the vice president and Miss Rita Ofosuhemaa, SRC presidential aspirant (team supreme), took turns in advising the children to be of good character. Master Emmanuel Afriyie, the chief organizer also did same. Master Jude Asante Marfo, the chief editor climaxed the advice session with a short moral story about the pencil.

Finally, one of the caretakers at the home thanked the visitors on behalf of the entire home. One of the children gave the closing prayer; amidst singing and clapping the children and the students danced around gracefully. The joy on their faces alone showed that they were happy to have visitors come over to their home. Now; to all who gave; may God restore you beyond your widest imagination and may your CGPA know no fall; to those who wished to give God bless you too but try and give next year  and to those who purposed in their hearts not to give; hmmmmm may God …. forgive you and bless you as well. Amen.
