Rotary Club of Accra La East has donated items worth over ¢5,000 to the South Labone Junior Girls Vocational Centre in Osu, Accra.
The items donated to the Centre include cooking oil, bags of rice, flour, beans, gari, liquid soap, washing powder, toiletries, yam, and plantain, among others.
President of the Club, Julia Asante Anim, explained the donation formed part of this year’s Rotary Christmas celebrations and that it was necessary for the club to have identified a facility and contribute its quota.
Ms. Anim added that the provision of the food and other items was a knock on the door of the Centre to present other opportunities to them in terms of education and shelter.
’’We are here today and have identified other focal areas and I can assure you that the Rotary Club of Accra La East will be back to support other areas of this facility. Over the last few years, the Club has supported various schools, orphanages and other social and community interventions and currently working with the Ministry of Health on a nationwide eye screening project,”
“For us to collaborate with any other people interested in the welfare of people then it is okay with us. It doesn’t matter the denomination, once you are interested in helping other people, we are also interested in it, so to collaborate is not an issue,” She said.
Rotary has six areas of focus Peace and conflict resolution, disease prevention and treatment, water and sanitation, maternal and child health, basic education and literacy, economic and community development, and so on are all covered by this donation.
