She visited the orphanage to give her widows mite to her less fortunate brothers and sisters.
She was happy and touched about what she and pledged her commitment to do more for the orphanage in the coming years.
Angela who is a student in the United States of America said she raised the money in different ways through the community she lives in and also through some personal savings she has done over the years.
Madam Celine Tiataa, who is in charge of the St. Joseph Orphanage thanked her for her kind gesture and promised that it will be used to the benefit of the orphans.
