Items presented include; bags of rice, cooking oil, boxes of tin tomatoes, protective foot wares, toiletries among others.

Presenting the items on behalf of the Association, Deputy Public Relations Officer for the group, Ohemaa Hetty said, the move forms part of the Association’s social responsibility, which is giving back to the less privilege in the society.

She appealed to philanthropists and other Associations in the Diaspora to emulate their kind gesture by offering both financial and other forms of support to orphan homes and rehab centres across the country.

She noted that, the donation is not the first since similar donation was made to the school sometime last year.

Ohemaa Hetty also hinted that, the Association intends to intensify this exercise as the group prepares to mark its 10th Anniversary celebration in May next year.

On his part, Mr Kwaku Addo of J.A Addo and Sons Company Limited expressed his profound appreciation to authorities of the centre for their hard work, time and dedication towards the day-to-day administration of the centre.

He encouraged them not to relent on their efforts with the hope and believe that God will surely reward them for taking care of the poor and hopeless in the society.

Nana Ato Hayford, Administrator of the Centre, who received the items on behalf of the centre, thanked the Okyeman Association (Massachusetts) for their support and visit and called for more of such donations.

He also seized the opportunity to thank two staff of the centre, Major Isaac Tweneboah and Major Faustina Tweneboah Kodua, clinic Administrator and Assistant Clinic Administrator respectively, for their selfless support and commitment to ensure the continuous existence of the rehab centre.
