The former Chief of Staff, Hon. Akosua Frema Osei-Opare, brought smiles and renewed hope to the children of the Assurance of Hope for the Needy orphanage in Teshie, Accra, as she spent her Easter Monday engaging with them through her charitable organisation, The Frema Foundation.

The visit, which has become a tradition, forms part of the Foundation’s broader mission to uplift underprivileged children and support institutions that cater for their welfare. This marks Hon. Osei-Opare’s fourth personal visit to the orphanage — a place she has grown fond of and to which she has pledged her long-term commitment.

During the visit, The Frema Foundation presented assorted items to meet the immediate needs of the children and their caregivers. These included bags of foodstuffs, confectioneries, toiletries, school bags, children’s clothing, wax prints for the caregivers, and Bibles. The donations were received with immense gratitude by the management and staff of the orphanage.

Hon. Osei-Opare, who previously pledged to serve as a life patron of the home, reiterated her dedication to the well-being of the children and assured the home of continued support from her Foundation. She also commended the caregivers for their devotion and tireless efforts in nurturing the children.

The day was filled with joy and celebration. The children were treated to a hearty feast and participated in various fun activities such as face painting, balloon twisting, games, singing and dancing. The atmosphere was one of laughter, excitement, and love, reflecting the true spirit of Easter.

Speaking to the children, Hon. Osei-Opare encouraged them to take their education seriously, emphasising that knowledge is a powerful tool that can transform their lives. She also advised them to remain respectful and attentive to their caregivers and teachers, assuring them that they are not forgotten and that their dreams are valid.

The visit ended with heartfelt prayers, singing, dancing and expressions of appreciation from the children and staff, making it a truly memorable Easter celebration for all involved.
