The list of celebrities, who continue to support Ghanaians in their own way amid the coronavirus outbreak, keeps getting taller.
Criss Waddle, Sarkodie, Joselyn Dumas, Edem, Medikal, Fella Makafui and more are all celebrities whose names were covered in MyJoyOnline.com's first publication highlighting some of the works they have done to support people.
Below are some more celebrities who have also helped the society in anyway they can, amid the coronavirus pandemic.
John Dumelo
Actor-turned-politician, is one of the celebrities who have donated so much to his community since the coronavirus outbreak hit Ghana.
He began his donations prior to the lockdown. John Dumelo took to the University of Ghana campus, GIMPA campus and market places to share hand sanitisers to everyone he met.
He followed it up with a donation of Veronica buckets, hand sanitisers, detergents and hand gloves to all five police stations within the Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency.
The parliamentary aspirant for the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) donated similar set of items to the James Camp Prison, located at Roman Ridge in Accra.
When the lockdown was imposed on persons in Accra, Kumasi, Tema and Kasoa, John Dumelo, through his foundation, distributed over 2,400 loaves of bread, 1,100 bags of rice, bags of water, cooking oil and gari to the less privileged in the constituency.
When Akufo-Addo announced government will be covering the water bills of citizens, some people were still charging others for water in their houses. To ease the burden of those who did not have access to potable water to their homes, John Dumelo helped construct water access points across the constituency.
Although the lockdown has been lifted, John Dumelo took to his Twitter handle to announce he would be giving out interest-free loan to small scale businesses in the Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency.
This initiative is to help the small scale businessmen and women in the Ayawaso West constituency. Together we will make Ayawaso West the greatest. #idey4u pic.twitter.com/7HyUdF22CW
