"I believe that irrespective of circumstances, vulnerable Ghanaians, when accorded a fair chance, have the capacity to contribute something to our nation.
"This is my best effort to encourage these young ones to reorient their attitudes towards life and help their courageous caregivers to shape them into productive citizens.

"I hope my small contribution will inspire all well-meaning Ghanaians to do the same. I am confident that we can do it together," she added.
