The Oval 2006 Group, a University of Ghana alumni association with roots from Commonwealth Hall, has delivered essential items worth 15,000 Ghana cedis and provided an additional 5,000 Ghana cedis in cash to a children's home in Amasaman as part of their community outreach efforts.

The group donated food supplies and household necessities to Kressner Handmaids Children's Home and Divine Providence School at Otaten.

The donation included rice, sugar, gari, spaghetti, sardines, tomato paste, cooking oil, soap, washing powder, cartons of Indomie noodles, and 100 bags of sachet water.

The supplies will help sustain daily operations at the facility, which serves vulnerable children who have been abandoned or lack family support.

Sr. Kizita Otoo, director of the home managed by the Handmaids of the Divine Redeemer Sisters of Accra, said the institution has worked with vulnerable children since the 1960s.

The current facility was funded by the Rotary Club in Germany, with construction completed in March 2015. Local supporters joined the effort after the initial project was established.

The visit extended beyond the material donation, with alumni members spending time interacting with the children and sharing insights about various professions and life experiences.

The children enthusiastically discussed their future aspirations and career visions with the visiting professionals, creating meaningful exchanges about education and opportunities.

"Our aim is to educate and develop children so they do not become a burden on society," Sr. Kizita explained. "We depend mostly on charity, but we also run a poultry farm to help sustain the home."

She expressed the sisters' hope for completing a water project that remains halfway finished and establishing a sickbay to better serve the children's health needs.

Group chairman Eugene Osei-Wireko emphasised that the nearly two-decade friendship among members has evolved into a commitment to social responsibility.

The association focuses on delivering concrete support rather than making empty promises to communities in need.

"We are action people. We don't promise, we deliver," Osei-Wireko said during the presentation. "What brings us together is friendship, and we believe that same spirit can give hope to these children."

Fellow member Kofi Amoa-Abban described the donation as marking a significant milestone in the group's relationship with the orphanage.

He pledged continued engagement between the alumni association and the children's home beyond the current contribution.

"Today will be a new chapter of love, a new chapter of hope, and a new chapter of family," Amoa-Abban stated. "We shall come here as many times as God permits us to come."

The orphanage combines charitable donations with poultry farming operations to maintain its services for children requiring shelter, education and care.

Officials from both organisations expressed confidence that the partnership will help expand the facility's capacity to serve more vulnerable children in the Greater Accra region.
